avian malaria on madagascar: bird hosts and putative vector mosquitoes of different plasmodium lineages.

avian malaria occurs almost worldwide and is caused by haemosporida parasites (plasmodium, haemoproteus and leucocytozoon). vectors such as mosquitoes, hippoboscid flies or biting midges are required for the transmission of these parasites. there are few studies about avian malaria parasites on madagascar but none about suitable vectors.
