Extract

Experiments upon the duration of chronic infections of Plasmodium relictum in canaries prove that parasites may persist in the peripheral blood, as ordinary schizogonic stages, up to 8 years and 3 months after infection and that the blood of such birds is infective for clean birds for at least the same period.
