Physiological, environmental, and life-history drivers of haemosporidian infections in non-passerine birds from a rehabilitation center by Lis Marques de Carvalho e Vieira, Victor Aguiar de Souza Penha, Kevin J. McGraw, Amanda Vitória Dornelas da Silva, Erika Martins Braga

“…Also, individuals infected with Haemoproteus spp. only showed elevated H/L ratios, suggesting a physiological response to infection, and were more frequently infected during the rainy season, likely reflecting optimal vector conditions. No significant associations were observed between blood-parasite infection occurrence and other factors such as physical condition, major injuries, co-occurring Trichomonas spp., or the presence of ectoparasites.DiscussionThese findings highlight the importance of considering physiological, environmental, and life-history factors when investigating malaria infections in non-passerine birds. …”
