As in all Plasmodium species, P. cephalophi has both vertebrate and insect hosts. The vertebrate hosts for this parasite are mammals. TaxonomyThe parasite was first described by Bruce et al. in 1913.[1] DescriptionThe schizonts give rise to 8-12 merozoites. Mature merozoites measure 10 x 10 micrometres. The merozoites are large measuring 3.5 by 4.0 micrometres. The gametocytes are round and possess a number of darkly staining granules. The infected erythrocytes are pale. DistributionThis species was described in Malawi. HostsThe parasite was found in the blood of two antelopes (Cephalophus grimmi). It is also known to infect the grey duiker (Sylvicapra grimmia) [2] References1. ^Bruce D., Harvey D., Hamerton A. E. and Bruce (1913) Proc. Royal Soc. Lond.
