Plasmodium falciparum in what seems to be an 'acolé' ring form - ie hugging the membrane of the RBC.
Mourner's clefts are also visable (just!).... both of these are indicative of Pf and not the other species.
P falciparum, trophozoite, ring stage and have not seen
Plasmodium knowlesi ring stage
nice photo, too
