Identifying avian malaria vectors: sampling methods influence outcomes

Identifying avian malaria vectors: sampling methods influence outcomes

Abstract Background The role of vectors in the transmission of avian malaria parasites is currently understudied. Many studies that investigate parasite-vector relationships use limited trapping techniques and/or identify potential competent vectors in the field in such ways that cannot distinguish...
