Haemosporidian Infection Prevalence Variation Across an Urban Gradient in a Songbird

2025-02-13

Abstract excerpt

Urbanization is a significant source of inter- and intra-city environmental variation and is associated with declining population sizes that are increasingly homogeneous. However, whether this shift extends to urban disease ecology and related parasite communities, requires further examination. By comparing the prevalence and diversity of two related parasite genera (host-generalist Plasmodium and host-specialist...
