Plasmodium View in CoL cf. rouxi Sergent, Sergent & Catanei, 1928.
Malacopteron magnum Eyton ; Malaysia: Sarawak.
Description. – The studied blood film contained only schizogony stages with scanty cytoplasm, with up to four nuclei and often in cross configuration (27 × 31). The cytoplasm is void of neither a globule nor a vacuole. The infected erythrocyte is unaltered and the schizont is detached from both the erythrocyte rim and its nucleus.
Remarks. – This Plasmodium is reminiscent of Pla. rouxi, described from Passer hispaniolensis in Algeria ( Sergent et al. 1928). Absence of a globule and differences in host and geographic location however suggests this Plasmodium to be a distinct species from Pla. rouxi.
