''Plasmodium iguanae'' is a parasite of the genus ''Plasmodium''. Like all ''Plasmodium'' species ''P. iguanae'' has both vertebrate and insect hosts. The vertebrate hosts for this parasite are reptiles. == Description == The parasite was first described by Telford in 1980.〔Telford, S. R, Jr (1980) The saurian malarias of Venezuela: Plasmodium species from iguanid and teiid hosts. Int. J. Parasitol. 10(5/6): 365-374〕 The schizonts have 6 to 25 nuclei and are heavily pigmented when in erythrocytes. The gametocytes are round to oval, prominently pigmented and exceed the host cell nucleus in size, are more commonly found in pro-erythrocytes than in mature cells. 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 iguanae」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
