''Plasmodium marginatum'' is a parasite of the genus ''Plasmodium'' subgenus ''Sauramoeba''. Like all ''Plasmodium'' species ''P. marginatum'' has both vertebrate and insect hosts. The vertebrate hosts for this parasite are reptiles. == Description == The parasite was first described by Telford in 1979.〔Telford SR Jr. (1979) A taxonomic reconsideration of some ''Plasmodium'' species from iguanid lizards. Ann. Parasitol. Hum. Comp. 54(2):129-144〕 This species had previously been considered to be ''Plasmodium tropiduri''. All stages tend to lie along the erythrocyte margin. While mature schizonts appear to be like flattened fans with 3 to 8 merozoites, immature schizonts are highly amoeboid. Gametocytes are smaller than erythrocyte nuclei. 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 marginatum」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
