''Plasmodium berghei'' is a unicellular parasite (protozoan) that infects mammals other than humans. ''P. berghei'' is one of the four ''Plasmodium'' species that have been described in African murine rodents, the others being: * ''Plasmodium chabaudi'' * ''Plasmodium vinckei'' * ''Plasmodium yoelii'' These are not of direct practical concern to man or his domestic animals. The interest of these parasites is that they are practical model organisms in the laboratory for the experimental study of human malaria. == Description == This species was first described by Vincke and Lips in 1948 in the Belgian Congo.〔Vincke, I.H. and Lips, M.
