 attack of malignant tertian malaria, due to Plasmodium praecox

 buffaloes that had been shot in scrub country from 3 to 6 miles from 

 the nearest habitation. In the bush and open grazing country 

 M. domestica , oviposits on fresh horse manure, but will also breed in 

 decaying vegetable matter. Adults have been bred from larvae 

 taken in nests of the black-throated grebe {Podicipes novae-hollandiae) 

 which had become stranded on the margin of a swamp and in which 

 the eggs had not hatched. Stomoxys calcitrans and Sarcophaga sp. 

 were breeding in the same nests and also in leaves, horse and cow
