Observations on Plasmodium Huffi Muñiz, Soares, and Batista

Clay G. Huff1
Naval Medical Research Institute, Bethesda, Maryland

Observations on preparations of the toucan, Ramphastos toco, infected with Plasmodium huffi Muñiz, Soares and Batista indicated the possibility that this infection may have been a mixed one. The exoerythrocytic stages are predominantly of the elongatum-type. They are similar to P. elongatum in the spherical form and self-limitation in size of the schizonts. They differ from elongatum in producing a larger number of merozoites and in effecting abnormal changes in some infected host cells.
