I think it is P.ovale The picture show a trophozoite infecting an elliptical RBC with Shuffner’s stippling more evident especially at the edges of the erythrocyte. Malaria pigment is visbile.

Looks like Plasmodium ovale trophozoite The parasitized erythrocytes are oval in shape and fimbriated at the top end Cytoplasm is fairly regular, fleshy; pigment is scattered, coarse We can also see Schuffner's dots in infected red blood cells, which is relevant to P.ovale infection; yet, these dots also appear in case of P.vivax infection.
Plasmodium, ¿ovale?
ReplyDeleteI was thinking P. ovale as well. Lee

Very nice photographs of P. ovale. The shape and appearance of the infected RBC is consistent with this African plasmodium.

agree with P. Ovale - in the last picture is that a basophil next to the parasite?
ReplyDeleteor perhaps i meant eosinophil...
