Pseudolynchia canariensis flies offered the naturally infected migrant dove Streptopelia turtur with Haemoproteus turtur succeeded to induce weak infection in the raised Streptopelia turtur only. Intraperitoneal, intramuscular and subcutaneous injection of their salivary glands together with intraperitoneal injection of macerated lung and liver tissues of infected doves revealed the appearance of low and moderate grade parasitaemia in S. senegallus and the raised S. turtur. Flies offered laboratory infected donor doves of low and moderate parasitaemia could transmit the parasite through all the experimental trials during the course of infection with variable degrees of parasitaemia to both doves. All attempts to transmit H. turtur to Columba livia was unsuccessful.
用自然感染了鸽血变原虫的迁徙家鸽（Streptopelia turtur）喂食加那利伪嗜鸟虱（Pseudolynchia canariensis），结果仅在饲养的家鸽中成功诱导出轻微感染。将其唾液腺进行腹腔、肌肉和皮下注射，同时腹腔注射感染鸽子的肺和肝组织匀浆，结果显示在塞内加尔家鸽（S. senegallus）和饲养的家鸽中出现了低度和中度的寄生虫血症。用实验室感染的、寄生虫血症低度和中度的供体家鸽喂食虱子，在感染过程中，虱子能够通过所有实验性试验，将寄生虫以不同程度的寄生虫血症传播给两种家鸽。所有将鸽血变原虫传播给家鸽（Columba livia）的尝试均未成功。
