''Plasmodium narayani'' is a parasite of the genus ''Plasmodium'' subgenus ''Vinckeia''. Like all ''Plasmodium'' species ''P. narayani'' has both vertebrate and insect hosts. The vertebrate hosts for this parasite are mammals. == Description == The parasite was first described by de Mello and Diaz in 1936.〔de Mello F., Diaz E. (1936) ''Plasmodium narayani'' n.sp., parasite of the fish otter ''Lutea lutra''. Proc. Indian Acad. Sci. B 3:212-213.〕 This parasite has only been described on one occasion. The description is incomplete and this species should be regarded as being of dubious validity until further work has confirmed or refuted these findings. As described the schizonts were annular and amoeboid and between 1/5 and 1/6 of the erythrocyte in size. Black pigment was seen. 9-11 merozoites per schizont were seen. The gameotocytes were oval. No granules or dots were seen in the erythrocytes. 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 narayani」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
