Description

The original criterion for inclusion in this genus was the presence of large schizonts giving rise to 12 or more merozoites. The criteria were subsequently revised by Telford in 1988.[2] The type species of this subgenus is Plasmodium diploglossi.

Species in the subgenus Sauramoeba have the following characteristics:

Large schizonts giving rise to 12 or more merozoites

The gametocytes like the schizonts are large.

Species

gollark: Like autocrafting something in Minecraft given a list of crafting recipes and items.
gollark: Probably a horrendously complex problem, that.
gollark: and then do magic and it's all fine
gollark: That doesn't actually help with *arranging them onscreen*.
