''Plasmodium cnemaspi'' is a parasite of the genus ''Plasmodium'' subgenus ''Sauramoeba''. Like all ''Plasmodium'' species ''P. cnemaspi'' has both vertebrate and insect hosts. The vertebrate hosts for this parasite are lizards. == Description == The parasite was first described by Telford in 1984.〔Telford, Jr S.R. (1984) Studies on African saurian malarias: Three ''Plasmodium'' species from gekkonid hosts J. Parasitol. 70 (3) 343-354〕 The schizonts are usually round, oval or oblong, exceed the host cell nuclei in size and produce 8-20 merozoites. The gametocytes are elongate or oval and have dispersed pigment averaging twice the size of host cell nuclei in size. In chronic infections, gametocytes may become rounded and cause both host cell and nucleus to shrink. 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「Plasmodium cnemaspi」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
