Plasmodium reichenowi, a malarial parasite of the chimpanzee, was infective to Anopheles freeborni, Anopheles quadrimaculatus, Anopheles stephensi, Anopheles maculatus, Anopheles dirus, and Anopheles culicifacies mosquitoes. Anopheles gambiae and Anopheles albimanus were not infected. Mean oocyst diameters of P. reichenowi were smaller than those of the other chimpanzee parasite, Plasmodium schwetzi. Sporozoites were present in the salivary glands of An. freeborni at 15 days when held at 25 to 26 C.
赖氏疟原虫是黑猩猩的一种疟原虫，可感染弗里伯恩按蚊、四斑按蚊、斯氏按蚊、多斑按蚊、大劣按蚊和库氏按蚊。冈比亚按蚊和白纹按蚊未被感染。赖氏疟原虫的卵囊平均直径小于另一种黑猩猩疟原虫——施氏疟原虫的卵囊平均直径。在25至26摄氏度饲养15天时，弗里伯恩按蚊的唾液腺中出现了子孢子。
