| surveillance of tick-borne encephalitis virus in wild birds and ticks in tomsk city and its suburbs (western siberia). | to study the role of wild birds in the transmission of tick borne encephalitis virus (tbev), we investigated randomly captured wild birds bearing ixodid ticks in a very highly endemic tbe region located in tomsk city and its suburbs in the south of western siberia, russia. the 779 wild birds representing 60 species were captured carrying a total of 841 ticks, ixodes pavlovskyi pom., 1946 (n=531), ixodes persulcatus p. sch., 1930 (n=244), and ixodes plumbeus leach. 1815 (n=66). the highest averag ... | 2014 | 24380691 |
| molecular characterization and distribution of haemoproteus minutus (haemosporida, haemoproteidae): a pathogenic avian parasite. | recently, the lineage hturdus2 of haemoproteus minutus (haemosporida, haemoproteidae) was reported to cause mortality in captive parrots. this parasite lineage is widespread and prevalent in the blackbird turdus merula throughout its entire distribution range. species identity of other closely related lineages recently reported in dead parrots remains unclear, but will be important to determine for a better understanding of the epidemiology of haemoproteosis. using polymerase chain reaction (pcr ... | 2013 | 23557683 |
| deadly outbreak of iron storage disease (isd) in italian birds of the family turdidae. | a widespread deadly outbreak occurred in captive birds belonging to the family turdidae in italy. the present study was performed on 46 dead birds coming from 3 small decoy-bird breeders in central italy. only turdus pilaris, turdus iliacus, turdus philomelos and turdus merula were affected. no other species of bird held by these breeders died. a change of diet before the hunting season was reported from all breeders. full necropsy of the animals and histological investigations of representative ... | 2014 | 24920545 |

| postnatal growth of the liver in the young fieldfare (turdus pilaris). | in this paper data are presented on the postnatal growth of the body and some organs in the young fieldfare. to the best of our knowledge the fieldfare has the highest specific growth rate ever reported for an avian species. the mitotic activity in the liver has been investigated by means of flow cytometry and autoradiography. it appears that a high rate of liver growth is more nearly related to the relative number of proliferating cells than to the length of the mitotic cycle. furthermore, it i ... | 1987 | 3678929 |
| host dispersal shapes the population structure of a tick-borne bacterial pathogen. | birds are hosts for several zoonotic pathogens. because of their high mobility, especially of longdistance migrants, birds can disperse these pathogens, affecting their distribution and phylogeography. we focused on borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato, which includes the causative agents of lyme borreliosis, as an example for tick-borne pathogens, to address the role of birds as propagation hosts of zoonotic agents at a large geographical scale. we collected ticks from passerine birds in 11 european ... | 2020 | 31846173 |

| the life-cycle of the avian haemosporidian parasite haemoproteus majoris, with emphasis on the exoerythrocytic and sporogonic development. | haemoproteus parasites (haemosporida, haemoproteidae) are cosmopolitan in birds and recent molecular studies indicate enormous genetic diversity of these pathogens, which cause diseases in non-adapted avian hosts. however, life-cycles remain unknown for the majority of haemoproteus species. information on their exoerythrocytic development is particularly fragmental and controversial. this study aimed to gain new knowledge on life-cycle of the widespread blood parasite haemoproteus majoris. | 2019 | 31685020 |
