Type host of this species is Sylvia communis Latham ( Passeriformes : Sylviidae ) from Germany ( Fritsch, 1958). This species was later found in quills of the same host in Poland, from S. curruca (Linnaeus) in Jordan, Poland and Kazakhstan, S. atricapilla (Linnaeus) in Poland and Russia. Infected quills were found from Acrocephalus scirpaceus (Hermann) ( Passeriformes : Acrocephalidae ) in Poland, A. paludicola (Vieillot) in Poland, A. dumetorum Blyth in Kazakhstan, A. palustris (Bechstein) in Kenya and from A. arundinaceus (Linnaeus) in Poland ( Skoracki 1999; Skoracki 2011; Skoracki et al. 2011). In this paper we give one new host from Kenya.
