Parasite prevalence corresponds to host life history in a diverse assemblage of afrotropical birds and haemosporidian parasites.
Avian host life history traits have been hypothesized to predict rates of infection by haemosporidian parasites. Using molecular techniques, we tested this hypothesis for parasites from three haemosporidian genera (Plasmodium, Haemoproteus, and Leucocytozoon) collected from a diverse sampling of bir...
