Laverania
Laverania (la'vĕr-ā'nē-ă), Old generic name for malaria-causing and other hematozoan protozoa. Laverania falciparum is a distinctive generic name for Plasmodium falciparum, and is preferred by some who believe that crescentic gametocytes should be the basis for classifying the causal agent of falciparum malaria in a separate genus. See: Plasmodium, Haemoproteus. [C. Laveran, Fr. protozoologist and Nobel laureate, 1845-1922] Laverania An obsolete genus of protozoa which included Plasmodia spp; now a subgenus. |
