This cluster of papers focuses on the study of avian malaria parasites, including Haemoproteus and Plasmodium, in bird hosts. It covers topics such as host specificity, vector-borne diseases, parasite diversity, molecular phylogeny, pathogenic effects on bird populations, interactions with ectoparasites, and the impacts of climate change on the prevalence and distribution of avian malaria.
