Alphabetical Index
A Accolé form - the "edge" parasite, most closely associated with P.falciparum though certainly not restricted to this species
B Banana gametocyte - the curved elongated form of the gametocyte of P.falicparum
C Central chromatin dot - the chromatin dot appears to lie within the vacuole of a ring form, may be more frequent in P.malariae'
D Daisy head schizont - schizonts with a central area of pigment surrounded by petal like merozoites
E Ex-flagellation - an in vitro artefact of storage in which parasites undergo changes normally occurring in the mosquito gut
Edge form - see accolé form F Fimbriation - irregular projections of the erythrocyte membrane seen mainly in P.ovale
J James' dots - frequent red-purple dots in the cytoplasm of P.ovale infected erythrocytes
M Malaria pigment - tbrown or gold masses within the cytoplasm of infected red cells or overlying parasites
R Ring forms - probably the most familiar and frequently encountered parasite form
S Schüffner's dots - frequent red-purple dots that arise in the cytoplasm of erythrocytes infected by P.vivax
P Phagocytosed malaria pigment - malaria pigment is released into the blood as schizonts rupture and is phaocytosed by neutrophils or monocytes
Z Ziemann's dots - faint cytoplasmic dots that may be detected in P.malariae
