Haemosporidian parasites missed the boat during the introduction of common waxbills (Estrilda astrild) in Iberia.

Parasitology - 1 Sept 2018

Lopes Ricardo J, Correia Joana, Batalha Helena, Cardoso Gonçalo C

Abstract excerpt

Exotic species can experience fast expansion in new environments, especially if they left their pathogens behind (Enemy Release hypothesis) or brought novel pathogens to the native competitors (Novel Weapon hypothesis). Common waxbills (Estrilda astrild) are native to sub-Saharan Africa and invaded west Iberia since the 1960s. Past haemosporidian parasite surveys at four locations in Portugal showed that waxbills...
