Local host specialization, host-switching, and dispersal shape the regional distributions of avian haemosporidian parasites

24 Aug 2015

Abstract excerpt

The drivers of regional parasite distributions are poorly understood, especially in comparison with those of free-living species. For vector-transmitted parasites, in particular, distributions might be influenced by host-switching and by parasite dispersal with primary hosts and vectors. We surveyed haemosporidian blood parasites (Plasmodium and Haemoproteus) of small land birds in eastern North America to...
