metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: In recent years, numerous studies have shown an increasing prevalence of
  avian haemosporidian parasites in Europe. However, little is known about the
  vectors of these parasites, particularly specific dipterian species transmitting
  malaria parasites to birds. This study aims to identify vectors of avian malaria
  parasites on the South-East Baltic coast. Mosquito females were collected from
  2020 to 2021 on the Curonian Spit of the Baltic Sea using traps with birds as
  bait. All insects were identified to the species level through morphological features
  and the PCR method. Subsequently, they were dissected to extract salivary
  glands for studying the presence of avian malaria infecting stages (the sporozoites).
  The remaining mosquito parts were used later for molecular analysis
  to detect haemosporidian parasite DNA. A total of 596 mosquitoes belonging to
  8 species were collected. The analysis revealed that Culex pipiens is a competent
  vector of avian Plasmodium relictum (genetic lineages pGRW11 and pSGS1) and
  a potential vector for Plasmodium vaughani (genetic lineage pSYAT05) on the
  Curonian Spit of the Baltic Sea.
