Extract

Huff & Gambrell (1934), and Gambrell (1937) observed that, when Plasmodium cathemerium was passaged from canary to canary for a long period, by inoculation of blood from acutely infected birds, the number of gametocytes produced in each infection gradually decreased, though in two strains only did they disappear completely.
