Haemosporidian parasites infection among wild birds inhabiting Minami-daito Island was studied. Blood films from 183 birds representing 4 species of 4 families were examined microscopically. Avian haemosporidian parasites were detected in 3 species with an overall prevalence of 59.6%. None of the 30 Daito scops owls (Otus scops interpositus) examined were infected. Either Haemoproteus sp. or Plasmodium sp. infection was found in 14 of 31 (45.2%) Borodino islands white-eyes (Zosterops japonicus daitoensis). Plasmodium spp. were found in 94 of 102 (92.2%) bull-headed shrikes (Lanius bucephalus) and 1 of 20 (5%) tree sparrows (Passer montanus).
对居住在南大东岛的野生鸟类中的血孢子虫寄生虫感染情况进行了研究。对代表4个科4个物种的183只鸟类的血涂片进行了显微镜检查。在3个物种中检测到禽血孢子虫寄生虫，总体患病率为59.6%。所检查的30只大东角鸮（Otus scops interpositus）均未感染。在31只（45.2%）波罗的海岛屿绣眼鸟（Zosterops japonicus daitoensis）中的14只中发现了血变原虫属或疟原虫属感染。在102只（92.2%）牛头伯劳（Lanius bucephalus）中的94只和20只（5%）树麻雀（Passer montanus）中的1只中发现了疟原虫属。
