For this we collected metadata (e.g. collection date, sex, measurements) as well as feather, faeces and blood samples for subsequent analysis of haemosporidian parasites (Haemoproteus and Leucocytozoon). All individuals were infected with at least one haemosporidian genus. The most common infection pattern was a mixed infection with Haemoproteus and Leucocytozoon, whereas no Plasmodium infection was detected in any of the samples of the Jays.8.6636288.68299750.83674750.84253HesseHessian Ministry for Science and the Artshttps://doi.org/10.13039/501100003495LOEWE_Nature4LOEWE priority project Nature 4.0 - Sensing Biodiversity
