Three antihaematozoal drugs were tested for the treatment of pigeons naturally infected with Haemoproteus columbae. Butalex (Buparvaquone) was found effective against the parasite either by using the recommended dose (R. D.) or the double (D. D.) dosis. The R. D. of Berenil (Diminazene aceturate) was not effective while the D. D. reduced the number of gametocytes circulating in the infected blood. Triquine was found very toxic to the pigeons both the R. D. and the D. D.
对三种抗血孢子虫药物进行了测试，以治疗自然感染鸽血变原虫的鸽子。发现Butalex（丁萘醌）无论是使用推荐剂量（R.D.）还是双倍剂量（D.D.），对该寄生虫都有效。贝尼尔（乙酰甘氨酸二脒那嗪）的推荐剂量无效，而双倍剂量减少了感染血液中循环的配子体数量。发现三甲喹对鸽子的推荐剂量和双倍剂量都具有很高的毒性。
