Prevalence of new and known species of haemoparasites in feral pigeons in northwest Italy
Frine Eleonora Scaglione,Paola Pregel,Francesca Tiziana Cannizzo,Antón Pérez-Rodríguez,Ezio Ferroglio,Enrico Bollo +5 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that cross infection of feral pigeons with haemoparasites typical of other migratory or nonmigratory bird species is possible and the geographical location of Italy along the main migratory routes is a crucial factor to be considered for migratory birds.
Journal ArticleDOI
Blood parasites in hooded crows (Corvus corone cornix) in Northwest Italy.
Frine Eleonora Scaglione,Francesca Tiziana Cannizzo,Paola Pregel,Antón Davìd Pérez Rodríguez,Enrico Bollo +4 more
TL;DR: The high prevalence of haemoparasites emphasizes the success of ornithophilic vectors and the susceptibility of this species to infection and suggests an evolutionary adaptation between crows and avian blood parasites.
Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular characterization of avian malaria in the spotless starling (Sturnus unicolor).
Jaime Muriel,Jeff A. Graves,Diego Gil,Sergio Magallanes,Concepción Salaberria,Miriam Casal-López,Alfonso Marzal +6 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that the local transmission of these lineages might place migratory birds at infection risk because this sedentary species is widely distributed throughout the Iberian Peninsula.
Journal ArticleDOI
The impact of trapping and handling activities on the breeding performance of Hooded Crows Corvus corone cornix
TL;DR: The very high density of crow nests in the study area and the associated high risk of conspecific predation on the eggs is suggested as the most likely explanation for the observed effect on Hooded Crow breeding performance.
