''Plasmodium polymorphum'' is a parasite of the genus ''Plasmodium''. Like all ''Plasmodium'' species ''P. polymorphum'' has both vertebrate and insect hosts. The vertebrate hosts for this parasite are birds. ==Description== This species was described by Zehtindjiev ''et al''.〔Zehtindjiev P, Križanauskienė A, Bensch S, Palinauskas V, Asghar M, Dimitrov D, Scebba S, Valkiunas G (2012) A new morphologically distinct avian malaria parasite that fails detection by established PCR-based protocols for amplification of the cytochrome B gene. J Parasitol 〕 This species shows a marked preference of its blood stages for immature erythrocytes, including erythroblasts. Uniquely for an avian malaria species development and maturation of the gametocytes occur in immature red blood cells. Also uniquely the margins of nuclei in blood stages of are markedly smooth and distinct. It appears morphologically to be related to the ''Huffia'' subgenus but this has yet to be established. 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 polymorphum」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
