'''INDEX'''
----
'''A'''

[[Accolé form]] - the "edge" parasite, most closely associated with ''P.falcparum'' though certainly not restricted to this species

[[Amoeboid forms]] - a particular description applied to the irregular solid late trophozoites from ''P.vivax'', very typical of the species

[[Angular forms]] - a solid late trophozoite form that appears angular in shape, most closely associated with ''P.malarie''

----

'''B'''

[[Banana gametocyte]] - the curved elongated form of the gametocyte of ''P.falicparum''

[[Band appearance]] - in ''P.malariae'' (and also ''P.knowlesi'') the late trophozoite may form band across the infected erythrocyte

----

'''C'''

[[Central chromatin dot]] - the chromatin dot appears to lie within the vacuole of a ring form, may be more frequent in ''P.malariae'''

[[Comet form]] - a feature of ''P.ovale'' where the combination of elongation and fimbriation is said to resemble of comet

[[Red cell crenation]] - the red cells in ''P.falciparum'' may become crenated following parasite invasion

----

'''D'''

[[Daisy head schizont]] - schizonts with a central area of pigment surrounded by petal like merozoites

[[Distrorted erythrocyte shape]] - the parasite modifies the shape of the infected erythrocyte, most characteristic of ''P.vivax''

[[Double chromatin dot forms]] - trophozoites in which the chramatin forms two roughly equal dots

[[Dual species infection]] - in some instances infection occurs simultaneously with two different species

----

'''E'''

[[Ex-flagellation]] - an ''in vitro'' artefact of storage in which parasites undergo changes normally occurring in the mosquito gut

----

'''F'''

[[Fimbriation]] - irregular projections of the erythrocyte membrane seen mainly in ''P.ovale''

----

'''J'''

[[James' dots]] - frequent red-purple dots in the cytoplasm of ''P.ovale'' infected erythrocytes

----

'''M'''

[[Malaria pigment]] - tbrown or gold masses within the cytoplasm of infected red cells or overlying parasites

[[Maurer's dots and clefts]] - blue dots or short linear structures seen in ''P.falciparum'' infected red cells

[[Macrogametocytes & Microgametocytes]] - male and female forms of malarial gametocytes differ in size

[[Multiple parasites]] - more than one parasite seen within an infected erythrocyte, more frequently seen in ''P.falciparum''

----

'''R'''

[[Ring forms]] - probably the most familiar and frequently encountered parasite form

----

'''S'''

[[Schüffner's dots]] - frequent red-purple dots that arise in the cytoplasm of erythrocytes infected by ''P.vivax''

[[Size and shape of infected red cells]] - the size and shape of red cells containing parasites varies between species

[[Staining pH]] - the pH of the malaria stain can significantly affect the parasite and erythrocyte appearances

----

'''P'''

[[Phagocytosed malaria pigment]] - malaria pigment is released into the blood as schizonts rupture and is phaocytosed by neutrophils or monocytes
