''Plasmodium uluguruense'' is a parasite of the genus ''Plasmodium''. Like all ''Plasmodium'' species ''P. uluguruense'' has both vertebrate and insect hosts. The vertebrate hosts for this parasite are reptiles. == Description == The parasite was first described by Telford in 1984.〔Telford, Jr S.R. (1984) Studies on African saurian malarias: Three ''Plasmodium'' species from gekkonid hosts J. Parasitol. 70 (3) 343-354〕 Young schizonts are elongate with blunt ends and become oval or round following the second nuclear division. Mature schizonts are smaller than the host cell nuclei, produce 4-12 merozoites and are usually arranged as a fan. Immature gametocytes like young schizonts are elongate with blunt ends. Mature gametocytes are usually oval and approximate the host cell nuclei in size. Their pigment granules concentrated in a single focus. 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 uluguruense」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
