''Plasmodium cnemidophori'' is a parasite of the genus ''Plasmodium'' subgenus ''Sauramoeba''. Like all ''Plasmodium'' species ''P. cnemidophori'' has both vertebrate and insect hosts. The vertebrate hosts for this parasite are lizards. == Description == The parasite was first described by Carini in 1941.〔Carini, A. 1941. Sobre um plasmodio endoglobular e uma Eimeria do lagarto ''Cnemidophorus lemniscatus lemniscatus''. Arch. Biol. S. Paulo 25, 205-208.〕 The schizonts and gametocytes caused hypertrophy and distortion of host cell and nucleus. The nucleus may be displaced. Pigment is not located in a distinct vacuole. The schizonts are usually polar in position, rounded in shape, and may produce over 100 merozoites. Large schizonts visibly enlarge the erythrocyte. Mature schizonts measure 13.0 +/- 0.4 (range: 10-15) micrometres x 10.8 +/- 3 (range: 8-13) micrometres. The gametocytes are elongated and lateral in position. Mature microgametocytes measure 11.8 +/- 0.9 (range: 10-15) micrometres x 8.8 +/- 0.6 (range:7-10) micrometres. 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 cnemidophori」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
