''Plasmodium tribolonoti'' is a parasite of the genus ''Plasmodium''. Like all ''Plasmodium'' species ''P. tribolonoti'' has both vertebrate and insect hosts. The vertebrate hosts for this parasite are reptiles. == Description == The parasite was first described by Telford and Wellehan in 2005.〔Telford S.R. Jr, Wellehan J.F. Jr. (2005) Two Plasmodium species of the crocodile skink ''Tribolonotus gracilis'' from Irian Jaya, Indonesia. J. Parasitol. 91(1):148-151〕 The parasites infect proerythrocytes and have no effect upon dimensions of host cells or their nuclei. The schizonts are round or oblong and measure 6.1 x 5.3 micrometres (range: 5 - 7 x 4 - 7). They produce on average 14.3 merozoites (range: 10 - 21) The gametocytes average 7.2 x 6.3 micrometres (range 6.5 - 9.0 x 5.5 - 7.5) in size. The length x width product is 45.5 micrometre² (range: 38-63). The length/width ratio 1.15 (range: 1.0 - 1.5). Gametocytes are not sexually dimorphic in either size or shape. 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 tribolonoti」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
