''Plasmodium alaudae'' is a parasite of the genus ''Plasmodium''. Like all ''Plasmodium'' species ''P. alaudae'' has both vertebrate and insect hosts. The vertebrate hosts for this parasite are birds. ==Description== This species was originally described by Celli & Sanfelice in 1891 as ''Haemoproteus alaudae'' in the blood of the skylark. The species was later transferred to the genus ''Plasmodium''. On reexamination the described species was found to included members of at least one additional species and it was redescribed by Paperna ''et al.'' in 2009.〔Chavatte J.-M., Grès V., Snounou G., Chabaud A.G. & Landau I. (2009) — ''Plasmodium (Apicomplexa)'' of the skylark (''Alauda arvensis''). Zoosystema 31 (2) 369-383.〕 Trophozoites: the parasites are small and are located at ends of the erythrocyte. The erythrocyte nucleus is minimally displaced if at all. Schizonts: these are rounded with clear cytoplasm and have 8 nuclei. There are a few vacuoles and two granules of pigment. Gametocytes: these have not been described. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Plasmodium alaudae」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
