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]
