摘要
SYNOPSIS. This is the 1st reptilian Plasmodium to be described from eastern Asia. It is apparently of limited geographic distribution. Experimental infections may result in the production of more parasites than red cells in the circulating blood. A single erythrocyte may be infected by as many as 11 parasites. Despite the heavy parasitemia and destruction of erythrocytes, the hosts are apparently not affected by the infection. Mature schizonts are frequently fan‐shaped; they produce 7–17 merozoites. The asexual cycle has a high degree of synchrony. Copyright © 1969, Wiley Blackwell. All rights reserved
