Plasmodium inui is a species of parasite, one of the species of simian Plasmodium that cause malaria in Old World monkeys.

History

This species was described in 1907 by Halberstaedter and von Prowazek.

Epidemiology

This species is found in China[1] and also the Celebes, Indonesia, Malaysia and the Philippines.

Phylogenetics

It is closely related to other 'quartan' Plasmodium species, including Plasmodium coatneyi, Plasmodium cynomolgi, Plasmodium fragile, Plasmodium fieldi, Plasmodium hylobati, Plasmodium simiovale and Plasmodium vivax (which is a 'tertian' Plasmodium species).[2] [3]

Life cycle

The life cycle is typical of a species of the genus Plasmodium.

It has a 72-hour (or quartan) periodicity.

Salivary gland sporozoites appear in Anopheles dirus 13 days post feeding.

The prepatent period in the vertebrate host is 8 days.

Vectors

Anopheles dirus

Hosts

Assamese macaques (Macaca assamensis)
long tailed macaques (Macaca fascicularis)

gollark: There were some tweaks made to the cryptographic code the omnidisk depends on, but I **think** I got it working. It's not been tested recently.

gollark: It might actually work fine, I just forgot.

gollark: Yep!

gollark: The omnidisk subsystem might be broken.

gollark: PotatOS Tau will be autoupdated to Hypercycle once some final fixes complete.
