The Plasmodiidae are a family of apicomplexan parasites, including the type genus ''Plasmodium'', which is responsible for malaria. This genus was created in 1903 by Mesnil. They are one of the four families in the order Haemospororida. == Diagnostic criteria == The diagnostic criteria of the Plasmodiidae are: * Macrogametes and microgamonts develop independently * Syzygy is absent * Microgametocyte produces eight flagellated microgametes * Zygote is motile (known as an ookinete) * Conoid present in ookinete stage only * Sporozoites naked in oocyst (that is without a sporocyst) * Sporozoites have three walls * Heteroxenous: merogony and gamogony occur in vertebrate host, and fertilization and sporogony in definitive host (a blood-sucking insect) * Hemozoin pigment is produced 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Plasmodiidae」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
