Relationship between avian malaria distribution and an exotic invasive mosquito in New Zealand (2006, background): “This scenario parallels the ongoing situation in Hawaii, where increasing temperatures are predicted to allow mosquito vectors to "invade" and carry avian malaria into the few remaining mountain-top refuges of several endangered species (Benning et al. 2002; Freed et al. 2005).”
Climate, climate change and range boundaries (2010, background): “…Ltd If climate change drives malaria-resistant introduced birds, mosquitoes and bird malaria to higher elevations in the Hawaiian Islands, we might expect them to make further inroads into the susceptible (now largely montane) native bird fauna (van Riper et al., 1986; Freed et al., 2005).”
Climate change increases the risk of malaria in birds (2011, background): “Contemporary surveillance studies in Hawaii and New Zealand have revealed that island populations have become threatened by a recently acquired infection by Plasmodium relictum, a parasite that was delivered by exotic vectors that display range expansion due to climatic changes (Benning et al., 2002”
The effects of climate change on tropical birds (2012, background): “Native birds of the Hawaiian Islands had no experience with malaria or mosquitoes before they were introduced to the islands in the nineteenth century (Freed et al., 2005).”
