Discussion

This systematic review uncovers the effects of hemoparasites on wild bird health, highlighting significant ecological implications.

Hemoparasites adversely affect the health of wild birds, emphasizing a need for enhanced research on their ecological roles.
Key genera identified include Plasmodium, Haemoproteus, and Leucocytozoon; however, their clinical implications require further understanding.
The systematic review aggregates significant findings from multiple studies, revealing uneven distribution of research across bird taxa and regions.
Molecular tools have improved detection but challenges remain in field diagnostics, indicating a need for advancements in wildlife rehabilitation.

Alvarado-Piqueras et al. (2025) studied this question.
