Studies on avian malaria in vectors and hosts of encephalitis in Kern County, California. I. Infections in avian hosts

Examination of 10,459 blood smears from 8,674 birds representing 73 species resulted in the observation of Plasmodium spp. in 1,094 smears representing 888 individual birds of 27 specie
