Abstract excerpt
Bird populations often have high prevalences of the haemosporidians Haemoproteus spp. and Plasmodium spp., but the extent of host sharing and host switching among these parasite lineages and their avian hosts is not well known. While sampling within a small geographic region in which host individuals are likely to have been exposed to the same potential parasite lineages, we surveyed highly variable mitochondrial...
