| Plasmodium buteonis Paperna et al., 2007 | |
Like all Plasmodium species P. buteonis has both vertebrate and insect hosts. The vertebrate hosts for this parasite are birds.
The parasite was first described by Paperna et al. in 2007.[1] P. buteonis cannot be distinguished from some others of the same subgenus – P. gabaldoni and P. homocircumfexum – and may in fact not be a valid name.[2]
This parasite is found in Israel.
P. buteonis infects the common buzzard (Buteo buteo).
