Abstract
A review of 5640 articles on avian blood parasites showed that 236 rep orted mortality or gross pathogenicity in birds, and 89% of them were concerned with mortality in domesticated birds and how to control the blood parasites involved. Only 6% of records concerned birds in zoolog ical gardens; the remainder referred to mortality in wild birds.
