Description

This species infects the lizard Neusticurus bicarinatus.

Blood stages of the parasite are described to occupy at one pole of the host cell. Infection does not enlarge or distort the host red blood cells.[1] Each infected cell generally yields 4 to 8 new merozoites.[1] Gametocytes are "kidney-shaped" and are smaller than the host cell nucleus.[1]

Geographical occurrence

This species is found in Brazil in the Amazon area.

Hosts

P. neusticuri has only been described from the blood of N. bicarinatus. It is not clear if P. neusticuri causes disease symptoms in this host.[1]
