Probably one of the most famous examples of the impact of introduced parasites on insular wildlife is the decline of the Hawaiian endemic avifauna following the introduction of the avian malaria Plasmodium relictum, avianpox virus, and their mosquito vector Culex quinquefasciatus (Warner 1968; van Riper et al. In order to fully understand the colonization history of hippoboscid fly vectors in Galapagos, large-scale phylogenetic and phylogeographic studies of Haemoproteus parasites, bird hosts, and hippoboscid flies are needed, with an effort to estimate arrival dates where possible. ./cache/cord-018425-vyiuv5qu.txt ./txt/cord-018425-vyiuv5qu.txt
