Abstract

Five thousand and forty-six smears from 352 species of birds in Ethiopia were examined for blood parasites in an attempt to provide base-line data, to indicate fruitful areas for further study, on avian hematozoa. The prevalence of infection and the parasites found, with particular reference to Plasmodium, are discussed. At least 22 parasite species were recognized.
