“…In their study, this species was found to be refractile to both P. circumfexum and P. polare. Anopheles walkeri can be considered as a potential vector of human malarias (Matheson et al 1933;Kitchen and Bradley 1936) and has been found infected with sporozoites in nature (Bang et al 1940). Various anophelines have been tested for their susceptibility to avian malarias in the laboratory and Huff (1965) indicates a high percentage of positive results.…”

The sporogony of Plasmodium circumflexum in Culiseta morsitans is described. Sporozoites were first noted in the salivary glands on the 8th postinfective day; oocysts were still maturing on the 16th postinfective day. Culiseta morsitans was considered to be a good functional vector of Plasmodium circumflexum and the probable natural vector of this parasite in the Tantramar Marshes of New Brunswick. Plasmodium circumflexum did not show sporogonic development in 10 other culicines of three genera obtained in the same area but did complete sporogony in Mansonia perturbans. Plasmodium polare also completed sporogony in Culiseta morsitans and Mansonia perturbans but did not develop in other culicids. A review of the known potential of members of the genus Culiseta as vectors of avian Plasmodium indicates that this genus has previously been underrated and that it shows the greatest potential of all the culicid genera.

“…-A chloroform killing tube (Fig. 4, B) can be made from a large cork-stoppered shell vial or test tube about 1 inch in diameter and 6 or 8 inches long. The tube can be prepared as follows: Cut a scrap of old auto innertube into enough small cubes to occupy the bottom linear inch of space in the tube (rubber bands may be substituted if desired) .…”

“…Matheson and Hurlbut (119) have since reported that both forms occur in the vicinity of Ithaca, N. Y. Specimens from each State have been infected experimentally with malaria parasites (104,118), and one specimen infected with the parasites in nature has been reported from Bondurant, Ky., in the vicinity of Reelfoot Lake (2 The adults seem to prefer to remain on the emergent vegetation in the breeding areas. Matheson and Hurlbut (119) and Hurlbut (88) found that two distinct types of eggs were deposited by this species, "summer" and "winter" eggs, and they concluded that overwintering occurred, at least in the North, in the egg stage.…”
