Avian Malaria and Related Parasites in the Tropics

Avian Malaria and Tropical Parasites

Avian Malaria and Tropical Parasites provides a comprehensive overview of the ecology, evolution, and systematics of avian malaria and related haemosporidian parasites in tropical ecosystems. The book explores parasite life cycles, host–parasite interactions, disease transmission, biodiversity, biogeography, and modern research techniques. It also examines the effects of habitat loss, climate change, and other environmental pressures on bird populations, making it an essential resource for parasitologists, ornithologists, veterinarians, ecologists, and wildlife researchers.
