Main Characters: The number of merozoites in mature
erythrocytic meronts is frequently four to six , but varies
between four and eight, trofozoites usually present two
granules of emozoin, P. vaughani is similar to P.
hexamerium and P. unalis, but could be distinguished of
these two species because P. hexamerium show a
relatively stable (usually six) number of merozoits in
mature meronts, and P. unalis posses only one big
pigment granule in trophozoites and meronts.
