A total of 316 anatids (5 species) from Serendip Wildlife Research Station, Lara, Victoria, were examined for blood parasites. Twenty-two of the ducks (all five species) harbored Haemoproteus nettionis and one also harbored Plasmodium relictum. None of 12 dusky moorhens (Gallinula tenebrosa) were infected. There was no significant difference in the prevalence of H. nettionis between species or age groups of ducks. No evidence of infection with Leucocytozoon, Trypanosoma or microfilaria was obtained.
对来自维多利亚州拉腊市塞伦迪普野生动物研究站的316只水鸟（5个物种）进行了血液寄生虫检查。其中22只鸭子（所有5个物种）感染了尼氏血变虫，1只还感染了残疟原虫。12只黑翅水鸡（Gallinula tenebrosa）均未被感染。鸭子的物种或年龄组之间，尼氏血变虫的感染率没有显著差异。未发现感染住白细胞虫、锥虫或微丝蚴的证据。
