Predation and other factors currently limiting New Zealand forest birds. (2010, background): “The mosquito vector responsible for malaria outbreaks is widespread, and non-native birds, such as blackbirds with generally high infection rates, may act as reservoirs of infection to native species (Tompkins & Gleeson 2006).”
New Zealand pest management: current and future challenges (2015, background): “…(Plasmodium relictum Russell), has also been linked to the spread of exotic in‐ vertebrates such as the mosquito Culex quinquefasciatus (Say) (Tompkins & Gleeson 2006) and the insidious appearance of kauri dieback (Phytophthora ‘taxon Agathis’ [PTA]) affecting kauri (Agathis australis…”
Ecological effects of invasive alien insects (2008, background): “In New Zealand, Tompkins and Gleeson (2006) found a correlation between the distribution of the invasive C. quinquefasciatus and the occurrence of avian malaria.”
Climate change increases the risk of malaria in birds (2011, background): “The former event was clearly seen in the islands of Hawaii and New Zealand, where malaria was recently introduced by a spreading vector species that brought the endemic avifauna near extinction (Benning et al., 2002; Tompkins & Gleeson, 2006; Derraik et al., 2008).”
