Pseudolynchia canariensis succeeded to feed and survive normally on both Streptopelia senegallus and S. turtur. The feeding period, blood meal ratio and longevity of both male and female flies did not differ significantly (P > 0.05) from the corresponding values for the natural host Columba livia. Infection of S. senegallus with Haemoproteus columbae through flies bites, injection with either infected salivary glands suspension or infected macerated lung tissue of C. livia revealed a high parasitaemia levels accompanied with normal prepatent periods. However, in S. turtur low parasitaemia levels appeared after long prepatent periods when using the same course of infection with H. columbae.
加那利伪柔寄蝇成功地在塞内加尔鸽和欧斑鸠上正常取食并存活。雌雄蝇的取食期、血餐比例和寿命与天然宿主家鸽的相应值相比，差异不显著（P>0.05）。通过蝇叮咬、注射感染家鸽的唾液腺悬液或感染的家鸽肺组织浸液，使塞内加尔鸽感染鸽血变原虫，显示出高寄生虫血症水平，且潜伏期正常。然而，在欧斑鸠中，当采用相同的鸽血变原虫感染过程时，在长潜伏期后出现低寄生虫血症水平。
