Plasmodium relictum is a species in the genus Plasmodium, subgenus Haemamoeba.

It is a parasite, and the most common cause of malaria in birds.^[3]

Like all Plasmodium species, P. relictum has both vertebrate and insect hosts. The vertebrate hosts for this parasite are birds.^[3]

Distribution

P. relictum is geographically widespread, and is the most widespread malaria parasite of birds.^[2] Climate change is broadening its distribution further and is expected to continue to do so, including into higher elevations.^[3]

Hosts

Avian

P. relictum infects a wide variety of birds including birds from various orders. Infections in numerous wild birds and experimental animals have been described including partridges, canaries, chickens, ducks, pigeons^[2] and Spheniscus magellanicus (Magellanic penguins).^[4]^[5]^: 89^: 595^: 596 Experimental attempts to infect owls were not successful, suggesting owls may not be susceptible to P. relictum.^[2]

Vector

Culex quinquefasciatus, Cu. stigmatosoma and Cu. tarsalis.^[1]^[3]
