The Action of Plasmoquine on Mosquito-induced Malaria of Birds1
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 06 April 2009
Extract
The experiments described show that plasmoquine is very effective in preventing or delaying attacks of malaria in birds infected with P. relictum by direct blood inoculation, but has little or no prophylactic action in birds infected by the bites of mosquitoes.
In the mosquito-induced malaria parasites may appear in the blood 3 or 4 days after the cessation of plasmoquine treatment and there is no appreciable delay as compared with untreated control birds.
