Plasmodium is a eukaryote but with unusual features. The genus Plasmodium consists of all eukaryotes in the phylum Apicomplexa that both undergo the asexual replication process of merogony inside host red blood cells and produce the crystalline pigment hemozoin as a byproduct of digesting host hemoglobin.

P. polycephalum plasmodium cultivating two "islands" of agar substrate overlying a glass coverslip. Physarum polycephalum growing from an oat flake (center) towards hairy roots of the plant Valeriana officinalis (left). Physarum polycephalum has been shown to exhibit characteristics similar to those seen in single-celled creatures and eusocial ...
A plasmodium is a living structure of cytoplasm that contains many nuclei, rather than being divided into individual cells each with a single nucleus. Plasmodia are best known from slime molds , but are also found in parasitic Myxosporea , and some algae such as the Chlorarachniophyta .
Plasmodium gallinaceum is a species of the genus Plasmodium (subgenus Haemamoeba) that causes malaria in poultry. [1] Description. This species was described by ...
Plasmodium cynomolgi is the second-most studied malaria parasite of non-human primates after Plasmodium knowlesi, primarily due to its similarity to the human parasite P. vivax. [10] In particular, P. cynomolgi is used as a model for hypnozoite biology as it (along with P. vivax ) is one of the few Plasmodium species known to have this ...
The vegetative form is a multinucleate cell, called a plasmodium. This ultimately divides to form new spores, which are released when the host's cells burst. Both resting spores and motile zoospores, which generally have two smooth flagella, are produced at different stages. Within the plasmodium, dividing nuclei have a distinctive cross-like ...
