• Relationship between avian malaria distribution and an exotic invasive mosquito in New Zealand (2006, background): “Malarial parasites (protozoa belonging to the genera Plasmodium and Haemoproteus; Valkiūnas 2005) cause disease symptoms in birds, ranging from no detectable effect (Siikamaki et al.”
• Are chronic avian haemosporidian infections costly in wild birds (2011, methodology): “Hence, for low chronic level infections, which are characteristic of many Plasmodium species under wild conditions (Valkiūnas 2005), q-PCR seems to be a more sensitive method for detection and quantification than microscopic analyses.”
• Avian migration and the distribution of malaria parasites in New World passerine birds (2017, background): “However, few studies have examined the general role of avian migration in the distribution of parasite populations (see Valki unas, 1993, 2005, pp. 145–163).”
• Climate change increases the risk of malaria in birds (2011, background): “It has been intensively surveyed in hundreds of bird species around the world for more than a century (Valkiūnas, 2005).”
• Elevated reproductive effort increases blood parasitaemia and decreases immune function in birds: a meta-regression approach (2009, background): “a risk of mortality) (Valkiunas 2005) we consider this an important avenue for future investigations.”
• Personality and parasites: sex-dependent associations between avian malaria infection and multiple behavioural traits (2011, background): “On the one hand, this suggests that the similarity in the effects of both parasites on our behavioural traits points to behaviourally mediated effects, especially since both are transmitted by blood-sucking dipterans (Valkiunas 2005).”
