Environmental temperature affects prevalence of blood parasites of birds on an elevation gradient: implications for disease in a warming climate.

A multiple regression model of parasite prevalence on both elevation and temperature was highly significant (F 2,3 = 164.63, P<0.02, R 2 = 0.99, Adjusted R 2 = 0.98) but only temperature contributed significantly to the model (temperature: Beta = 0.99 P = 0.02; elevation: Beta = 0.004 P>0.98).

There was an interesting trend for parasite prevalence during the dry season to be higher, and lower during the wet season.
