Dutch House Martins Delichon urbicum gain blood parasite infections over their lifetime, but do not seem to suffer
In a southern Spanish population of the colonial-breeding Afrotropical migrant House Martins Delichon urbicum, a high overall prevalence of (molecularly assayed) haemosporidian infections (in the non-parasitological literature usually denoted with the inclusive term 'malaria') was associated with negative fitness consequences for individuals carrying single or double infections. To verify this in a northern population, we here report on the occurrence of malaria in 112 fledgling and 358 adult House Martins from The Netherlands. Repeatability of molecular essays was 94.4% (n = 125). Malaria was... Mehr ...
