simian malaria (medicine) and dichlamydeous (iou)


simian malaria (medicine)


simian malaria
Plasmodial infection of monkeys and apes, as with human malaria, transmitted chiefly by anopheline mosquitoes; a number of Plasmodium species are responsible, with Southeast Asia and Africa being the apparent centres of evolution; among the 20 plasmodial agents described from nonhuman primates, some resemble and induce a malarial infection similar to those caused by the four species of Plasmodium from humans, from which the agents of human malaria appear to be derived.

Synonym: monkey malaria.


dichlamydeous (iou)

[from DI-2 + Greek khlamus, khlamud- cloak + -EOUS.]
Of a flower: having both a calyx and a corolla.
