Parasitic protozoa of the blood of rodents. III. Two new malaria parasites of Anomalurine flying squirrels of the Ivory Coast
Protozoaires parasites du sang des Rongeurs : III. Deux nouveaux parasites malariques d’écureuils volants de la Côte d’ivoire
Department of Zoology and Applied Entomology, Imperial College, London, England.
Stained films of heart blood of 37 specimens of flying squirrels in the Ivory Coast were examined for malaria parasites. Two new species were found in blood films from Anomalurus peli. The name Plasmodium landauae sp. nov. is proposed for one, and Plasmodium pulmophilum sp. nov. for the other. Differences between the new parasites and P. anomaluri Pringle, 1960 of A. derbianus in Tanzania are discussed.
Résumé
Des frottis de sang de 37 Ecureuils volants ont été examinés en Côte-d’Ivoire, à la recherche de parasites du Paludisme.
Deux espèces de Plasmodium ont été trouvées dans le sang d’Anomalurus peli. L’une d’entre elles est nommée Plasmodium landauae n. sp. et la seconde Plasmodium pulmophilum n. sp. Les caractères différentiels entre les nouvelles espèces et P. anomaluri Pringle, 1960, parasite d’A. derbianus en Tanzanie, sont discutés.
