The same study also found that Plasmodium species of mammals form a well supported clade and this clade was associated with specialization to Anopheles mosquito vectors. The Plasmodium of birds and squamate reptiles all fall within a single clade with evidence for repeated switching between birds and squamate hosts.
P. dominicana is a species known only from fossil amber. [16] It is thought to have been a species infecting birds. It has been placed in the subgenus Nyssorhynchus. The taxonomic status of P. corradettii (Laird, 1998) is currently regarded as dubious and may be revised. P. huffi may be the same species as P. nucleophilum toucani.
Avian malaria is a parasitic disease of birds, caused by parasite species belonging to the genera Plasmodium and Hemoproteus (phylum Apicomplexa, class Haemosporidia, family Plasmoiidae). [1] The disease is transmitted by a dipteran vector including mosquitoes in the case of Plasmodium parasites and biting midges for Hemoproteus.
Over 150 species of Plasmodium infect a broad variety of birds. In general each species of Plasmodium infects one to a few species of birds. [28] Plasmodium parasites that infect birds tend to persist in a given host for years or for the life time of the host, although in some cases Plasmodium infections can result in severe illness and rapid ...

In this list of birds by common name 11,278 extant and recently extinct (since 1500) bird species are recognised. [1] Species marked with a "†" are extinct.
A revision of the genus Plasmodium by Levine in 1985 considered this subgenus to be a synonym of Plasmodium. The description of a new species Plasmodium siamense by Telford in 1986 lead to a resurrection of this as a subgenus. Further revision of its taxonomic status has led to its elevation to genus status. Species in this genus infect birds ...
The species was later transferred to the genus Plasmodium. On reexamination the described species was found to include members of at least one additional species and it was redescribed by Paperna et al. in 2009. [1] Trophozoites: the parasites are small and are located at ends of the erythrocyte. The erythrocyte nucleus is minimally displaced ...
