Fallisia copemani n. sp. is described from the circulatory blood lymphocytes and thrombocytes of the skink Carlia rhomboidalis from the rain forest of north Queensland, Australia. Parasites occur predominantly in lymphocytes and enlarge the infected cells. Meronts divide into 12-32 merozoites. In heavy infection up to 85 % of the lymphocytes were estimated to have become infected. Macrogametocytes always outnumbered microgametocytes. Double infections with identical and different stages were common at times in 30-60 % of the infected cells.
Résumé
Description de Fallisia copemani n. sp. dans les lymphocytes circulants et les thrombocytes du scinque Carlia rhomboidalis capturé dans la forêt humide du Nord Queensland, Australie. Les parasites prédominent dans les lymphocytes qui deviennent hypertrophiés. Les schizontes produisent 12-32 mérozoïtes. Lorsque la parasitémie est élevée, le taux d’infection des lymphocytes est estimé à 85 %. Les macrogamétocytes sont toujours plus nombreux que les microgamétocytes. Des infections doubles par le même stade ou par deux stades différents ont été parfois observées dans 30-60 % des cellules parasitées.
