Les différents types de gamétocytes chez les Hémosporidies de Mammifères. Corrélations avec la morphologie des schizontes tissulaires. Hypothèses sur l’évolution du groupe

Year: 1976

Type: article

Abstract: The Haemosporidia of Mammals are classified in 3 groups according to the morphology of the gametocytes: 1) group "vivax" with Hepatocystis and several species of Plasmodium; 2) group "malariae" with Nycteria and a second group of Plasmodium; 3) group "falciparum" with only Plasmodium. In each group there is a correlation between the morphology of the gametocytes and that of the exo-erythrocytic schizonts. Through discussing the host-range and comparing the life cycles of Haemosporidia in Birds, Reptiles and Mammals, we suggest a hypothesis of the polyphyletism of Plasmodium of Mammals.
