| plasmodium relictum (lineage p-sgs1): effects on experimentally infected passerine birds. | we evaluated the effects of plasmodium relictum (lineage p-sgs1), which is a host generalist, to five species of passerine birds. light infection of p. relictum was isolated from a naturally infected adult reed warbler acrocephalus scirpaceus. the parasites were inoculated to naive juveniles of the chaffinch fringilla coelebs, common crossbill loxia curvirostra, house sparrow passer domesticus, siskin spinus spinus and starling sturnus vulgaris. susceptibility of these birds to the infection of ... | 2008 | 18809402 |
| plasmodium relictum (lineage sgs1) and plasmodium ashfordi (lineage grw2): the effects of the co-infection on experimentally infected passerine birds. | the effects of avian malaria parasites of the genus plasmodium on their hosts are insufficiently understood. this is particularly true for malarial co-infections, which predominant in many bird populations. we investigated effects of primary co-infection of plasmodium relictum (lineage sgs1) and plasmodium ashfordi (grw2) on experimentally infected naive juveniles of siskin spinus spinus, crossbill loxia curvirostra and starling sturnus vulgaris. all siskins and crossbills were susceptible but s ... | 2010 | 21050849 |
