| What are amoeboid forms?
This term refers specifically to the late trophozoite of P.vivax and describes the solid and irregular form acquired as they mature this is said to resemble the shape of an amoeba with irregular shape and extended processes. Other features of P.vivax will also be detected at this developmental stage. .
Well formed Schüffner's dots in a trophozoite of P.vivax; note that the dots are far too numerous to count and have a red/purple colour; remeber also that their appearance is highly dependent on the correct staining pH.
Species significance These features have good specificity for P.vivax, but other features should also be compatible with that species. |
