Higher prevalence and diversity of avian haemosporidian infections in an elevation generalist compared to an elevation specialist

2024-01-30

Abstract excerpt

Avian haemosporidians are cosmopolitan protozoan parasites that infect a wide range of bird species and can cause the disease avian malaria. Previous studies that have examined haemosporidian patterns of infection have predominantly been focused on hosts that are either tropical or long-distance migrants. We sought to explore how the elevation range of avian hosts influences the prevalence, probability of infectio...
