Studied the population and nesting records of House Sparrow Passer domesticus during winter in Yellampet village, Telangana. The ecological density of House Sparrow was investigated using fixed width transects. The density of sparrow vary from 15 to 335 per hectare in different transects. Bonferroni confidence interval was used to know the preference of location types i.e., houses, shops and hotels for foraging and nesting. Shops were used significantly more than expected according to availability of nest sites and also for foraging. A total of 81 active nests were recorded. The present study shows that a handful breeding population of House Sparrow harboring in Yellampet village.
Differences in the diameter of Isospora lacazei oocysts were found to be dependent on diet and other factors. House sparrows which were given animal products as food (hard boiled eggs) excreted with their faeces coccidia oocysts, which were larger than when they were fed grain. The results indicate a need to verify the divisions of the systematics of Isospora lacazei.
We studied the population records of House Sparrow Passer domesticus 16th to 20th December 2011 during winter in Ramakrishna Beach Road Vishakhapatnam town, Andhra Pradesh. The ecological density of House Sparrow was investigated using fixed width transects. A total of 189 House sparrows were recorded. The present study shows that a notable population of House Sparrow in Beach Road.
Haematophagous mites are frequently found on nestling house sparrows (Passer domesticus), but their effects are poorly known. In this study we investigated whether natural levels of infection by two mite species Pellonyssus reedi and Ornithonyssus sylviarum have any fitness consequences on their hosts, including some physiological indices of chick health, body condition and fledging success. Among the haematological variables, thrombocytes and heterophils, but not lymphocytes and eosinophil granulocytes showed positive correlations with mite loads. There was also a significant decrease in the haematocrit values of the nestling sparrows with increasing mite intensity. We found no significant effect of ectoparasites on short- term indices of nestling fitness, such as body mass or fledging success. These results suggest that the blood-feeding mites of the studied house sparrow population mainly affected the haematological parameters of their hosts: They generated a non-specific immune response, with inflammatory processes and anaemia. On the other hand, parasite infestation seemingly has only weak influence on feather and skeletal growth of nestling sparrows, and no effect on fledging success and body mass.

In the years 1986-1988 102 nests of Passer domesticus and 113 nests of P. montanus were collected from Słupsk, Warszawa and its surrounding. Ceratophyllus gallinae was found in 55 nests of P. domesticus and in 74 nests of P. montanus: C. fringillae in 13 nests of P. domesticus. The highest mean number of C. gallinae per nest was recorded in nest of P. domesticus (11,9), lower in nest of P. montanus (5,9). The highest percentage of nests with fleas and the highest mean number of fleas per nest were recorded in September in P. domesticus and in June, July and September in P. montanus. The highest (111) nests to be inhabited by 1- 10 specimens. Number of specimens in nests was not depending on the weight nests.
Animals often co-exist with humans inside buildings, however in birds such cases are only sporadically noted. In this paper we describe the occurrence of House Sparrows in supermarket interiors. The probability of House Sparrows presence was higher in larger markets and during winter period. The abundance and density of birds were positively and negatively related to the size of the supermarket, respectively. The birds were active at night. They foraged mainly along market shelves on bakery products, vegetables and cereals. We did not observe nesting inside market halls. The supermarkets seem to be hospitable wintering place for this species, however they may also be ecological traps imprisoning the birds once they find their way in. Moreover, House Sparrows may contaminate food, thus, the presence of such species inside supermarkets should be controlled.
Acuaria subula (Dujardin, 1845) is redescribed by light microcopy (LM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) on the basis of specimens from its type host, Erithacus rubecula (Passeriformes, Muscicapidae), from Curonian Spit (Kaliningradskaya Oblast’, Russia) and Bulgaria. Acuaria skrjabini (Ozerskaya, 1926) is redescribed by LM and SEM on the basis of specimens from Passer domesticus (type host) and P. hispaniolensis (Passeriformes, Passeridae) from Bulgaria. Contrary to previous opinions recognizing A. skrjabini as a junior synonym of A. subula, the present study confirms that they are distinct species. They can be distinguished on the basis of the ratio between the length of cordons and the body length, the ratio between the length of muscular oesophagus and glandular oesophagus, and the ratio between the total length of oesophagus and the body length. In addition, the plates forming the cordons in these two species exhibit different morphological characters. Another difference between these two species is associated with the particular irregular mosaic ornamentation of the cuticle on the ventral and lateral sides of body around the region of vulva of A. subula and its absence in A. skrjabini. Data on their host and geographical ranges are surveyed. The type series of Acuaria buttnerae Chabaud et Petter, 1961, described as a parasite of Calandrella brachydactyla (Passeriformes, Alaudidae) in France, is re-examined; the latter species is recognized as a junior synonym of A. skrjabini (new synonymy).
Species that are introduced to novel environments can lose their native pathogens and parasites during the process of introduction. The escape from the negative effects associated with these natural enemies is commonly employed as an explanation for the success and expansion of invasive species, which is termed the enemy release hypothesis (ERH). In this study, nested PCR techniques and microscopy were used to determine the prevalence and intensity (respectively) of Plasmodium spp. and Haemoproteus spp. in introduced house sparrows and native urban birds of central Brazil. Generalized linear mixed models were fitted by Laplace approximation considering a binomial error distribution and logit link function. Location and species were considered as random effects and species categorization (native or non-indigenous) as fixed effects. We found that native birds from Brazil presented significantly higher parasite prevalence in accordance with the ERH. We also compared our data with the literature, and found that house sparrows native to Europe exhibited significantly higher parasite prevalence than introduced house sparrows from Brazil, which also supports the ERH. Therefore, it is possible that house sparrows from Brazil might have experienced a parasitic release during the process of introduction, which might also be related to a demographic release (e.g. release from the negative effects of parasites on host population dynamics).
