Patterns of avian haemosporidian infections vary with time, but not habitat, in a fragmented Neotropical landscape.

Patterns of avian haemosporidian infections vary with time, but not habitat, in a fragmented Neotropical landscape.

Habitat loss has the potential to alter vertebrate host populations and their interactions with parasites. Theory predicts a decrease in parasite diversity due to the loss of hosts in such contexts.
