Different intensities of cytoplasmic dots, from faint to intense during the development of ''P.vivax''. Note that even when faint the number of dots is high (compare with the Maurer's dots and clefts of ''P.falciparum'') | Schüffner's dots (seen in ''P.vivax'') and James' dots (seen in ''P.oale'') are morphologically indistinguishable and often the dots in both species are called "Schüffner's dots". They are however very diffrent from the Maurer's dots and clefts of ''P.falciparum''. Like all parasite structures these dots are formed progressively during trophozoite development, initially appearing as very faint dots before becoming much more intense as the parasites become more mature.
