The gametocytes are elongate or oval and have dispersed pigment averaging twice the size of host cell nuclei in size. In chronic infections, gametocytes may become rounded and cause both host cell and nucleus to shrink. Geographical occurrenceThis species is found in the Uluguru Mountains, Tanzania. Clinical features and host pathologyThis species infects the lizard Cnemaspis africana. References1. ^Telford, Jr S.R.
