Description

The parasite was first described by Telford and Wellehan in 2005.[1]

The parasites infect proerythrocytes and have no effect upon dimensions of host cells or their nuclei.

The schizonts are round or oblong and measure 6.1 x 5.3 micrometres (range: 5 - 7 x 4 - 7).

They produce on average 14.3 merozoites (range: 10 - 21)

The gametocytes average 7.2 x 6.3 micrometres (range 6.5 - 9.0 x 5.5 - 7.5) in size. The length x width product is 45.5 micrometre² (range: 38-63). The length/width ratio 1.15 (range: 1.0 - 1.5).

Gametocytes are not sexually dimorphic in either size or shape.

Geographical occurrence

This species is found in New Guinea.

Clinical features and host pathology

This species infects the crocodile skink Tribolonotus gracilis.
