Description
Morgana Hennig and co-authors survey blood parasites in Brazilian birds that are not songbirds in a 2025 study. Most past work focused on songbirds, leaving hawks, owls, pigeons, and water birds poorly mapped. The team sampled wild and kept birds across midwestern Brazil.
About one bird in five carried these parasites. Tests named four Plasmodium species, one of them wide-ranging across hosts, plus a strain not yet described. Four fresh strains of a second parasite group also turned up, in pigeons and owls among others. The finds widen the map of bird parasite variety and host links.
