Wandering phagocytes in tissue cultures were attracted to the exoerythrocytic stages, both intracellular and extracellular, of Plasmodium fallax. They phagocytized free merozoites or schizonts that had been freed from host cells. They attempted to phagocytize large intracellular parasites.

Background: Gregarines represent an important transition step from free-living predatory (colpodellids s.l.) and/or photosynthetic (Chromera and Vitrella) apicomplexan lineages to the most important pathogens, obligate intracellular parasites of humans and domestic animals such as coccidians and haemosporidians (Plasmodium, Toxoplasma, Eimeria, Babesia, etc.

We examined 130 Common Kestrel (Falco tinnunculus) representing two endemic subspecies and nine resident island populations on the Cape Verde archipelago between 1996 and 1999 to study diversity, prevalence, and intensity of hematozoa. Hematozoan diversity was very low; we detected only Plasmodium fallax, a species that is rarely found in Falconoformes, and, possibly, Haemoproteus brachiatus. Moreover, prevalence of Plasmodium fallax was low (1.

During studies of amphibian sperm cryopreservation, a new species of myxosporidean parasite (Myxozoa, Myxosporae) was observed in the testes of the Australian dwarf green tree frog Litoria fallax (Peters). Myxosporidiasis was found to have no affect on L. fallax body condition or sperm numbers.

Entry into the host cells was rapid and frequently several merozoites invaded the cells in rapid succession at or near the same site. The invasion proceeded at the broad (posterior) area of the merozoites, away from a filamentous process that usually held clusters of merozoites together in rosette form.
