A note on the vector of Plasmodium juxtanucleare in Ceylon.

Bennett and Warren (1966a) working in Malaya, found C. sitiens infected with P. juxtanu cleare. The sporogonic development of P. juxtanucleare in C. sitiens was studied and it was shown for the first time that the parasite possessed a pedunculated oocyst. C. sitiens, how ever, was found to be "less than ideal as a vector of'P. juxtanucleare" as a high.percentage of experimentally infected mosquitoes showed degenerating oocysts. It was also found that C. sitiens was not completely susceptible to infection with the Ceylon strain of P. juxtanu cleare (Bennett and Warren, 19660).
