Culex nigripalpus experimentally transmitted Plasmodium hermani, a plasmodium of wild turkeys (Meleagris gallopavo) in Florida. The mosquitoes were infected by feeding upon blood induced parasitemias in domestic turkey poults. The resulting sporozoites, transmitted by either mosquito bites or injection, produced malaria infections in domestic poults.
致倦库蚊通过实验传播了赫尔曼疟原虫，这是佛罗里达州野生火鸡（野火鸡）体内的一种疟原虫。这些蚊子通过吸食感染了家火鸡幼雏血液中的寄生虫血症而被感染。由此产生的子孢子，通过蚊虫叮咬或注射传播，在家火鸡幼雏中引发了疟疾感染。
