Natural Infection of Humboldt's Penguin with Plasmodium elongatum

Abstract
Infections of P. elongatum were obtained in canaries by subinoculation from Humboldt''s penguin (Spheniscus humboldi) originating in coastal islands off Chile, transported to Florida and thence to the National Zoological Park. Erythrocytic and exoerythrocytic stages in infections of canaries transmitted by blood and by Culex tarsalis were morphologically identical with strains isolated from various birds in the United States.
