Plasmodium Yoelii
''Plasmodium yoelii'' is a parasite of the genus ''Plasmodium'' subgenus ''Vinckeia''. As in all ''Plasmodium'' species, ''P. yoelii'' has both vertebrate and insect Insects (from Latin ') are pancrustacean hexapod invertebrates of the class Insecta. They are the largest group within the arthropod phylum. Insects have a chitinous exoskeleton, a three-part body ( head, thorax and abdomen), three pairs ... hosts. The vertebrate hosts for this parasite are mammals. Taxonomy This species was described in 1968 by Landau, Michel and Adam. Three subspecies are recognised: ''P. y. killicki'', ''P. y. nigeriensis'' and ''P. y. yoelli''. Strains *''P. yoelii'' Distribution This species occurs in Africa. Vectors The natural vectors of this species are not currently known. One possible is the female ''Anopheles'' mosquito which serves as a vector for ''Plasmodium vivax''. Hosts This species infects ''Thamnomys rutilans.'' Pathogenesis ''P. yoelii'' impairs immune ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Plasmodium Yoelii Killicki
''Plasmodium'' is a genus of unicellular eukaryotes that are obligate parasites of vertebrates and insects. The life cycles of ''Plasmodium'' species involve development in a Hematophagy, blood-feeding insect host (biology), host which then injects parasites into a vertebrate host during a blood meal. Parasites grow within a vertebrate body tissue (often the liver) before entering the bloodstream to infect red blood cells. The ensuing destruction of host red blood cells can result in malaria. During this infection, some parasites are picked up by a blood-feeding insect (Mosquito, mosquitoes in majority cases), continuing the life cycle. ''Plasmodium'' is a member of the phylum Apicomplexa, a large group of parasitic eukaryotes. Within Apicomplexa, ''Plasmodium'' is in the order Haemosporida and family Plasmodiidae. Over 200 species of ''Plasmodium'' have been described, many of which have been subdivided into 14 subgenera based on parasite morphology and host range. Evolutionary ...

Thamnomys Rutilans
The shining thicket rat (''Grammomys poensis'') is a species of rodent in the family Muridae. Distribution and habitat It is found in Angola, Burundi, Cameroon, Central African Republic, Republic of the Congo, Democratic Republic of the Congo The Democratic Republic of the Congo (french: République démocratique du Congo (RDC), colloquially "La RDC" ), informally Congo-Kinshasa, DR Congo, the DRC, the DROC, or the Congo, and formerly and also colloquially Zaire, is a country in ..., Ivory Coast, Equatorial Guinea, Gabon, Ghana, Guinea, Liberia, Nigeria, Rwanda, and Uganda.

Synonyms and homonyms The species is more commonly referred to as ''G. rutilans'', but Musser and Carleton (2005) noted that ''Mus rutilans'' Peters, 1876 is a junior homonym of ''Mus rutilans'' Olfers, 1818, which refers to the South Amer ...
