Extract

The experiments described show that plasmoquine is very effective in preventing or delaying attacks of malaria in birds infected with P. relictum by direct blood inoculation, but has little or no prophylactic action in birds infected by the bites of mosquitoes.

In the mosquito-induced malaria parasites may appear in the blood 3 or 4 days after the cessation of plasmoquine treatment and there is no appreciable delay as compared with untreated control birds.
