The study here reported had for its object the investigation of the effects of quinine and plasmochin on infections with Plasmodium circumflexum, and comparison of the results with those already obtained by similar treatment of infections with the other four species of avian malaria (Plasmodium capistrani excepted). A total of fifty-five female canaries were used in the treated series. The results may be summarized as follows:
Quinine | Plasmochin |
---|---|
1. Plasmodium rouxi | 1. Plasmodium elongatum |
2. Plasmodium praecox | Plasmodium rouxi |
3. Plasmodium cathemerium | 2. Plasmodium praecox |
4. Plasmodium circumfiexum | 3. Plasmodium circumfiexum |
5. Plasmodium elongatum | 4. Plasmodium cathemerium |
