	The gametocyte stage of ''P.falciparum'' has the form of a round-ended rod. The rod is slightly longer than a red cell so becomes curved by the red cell membrane and is often described a "banana shaped". This is particularly the case for longer macrogametocytes, and less so for the microgametocytes. The remaining red cell membrane (now with no haemoglobin) can often be seen on the concave side of the parasite.</br></br>		<span style="font-size:90%">The gametocyte stage of ''P.falciparum'' has the form of a round-ended rod.

'''Description'''

The gametocyte stage of ''P.falciparum'' has the form of a round-ended rod. The rod is slightly longer than a red cell so becomes curved by the red cell membrane and is often described a "banana shaped". This is particularly the case for longer macrogametocytes, and less so for the microgametocytes. The remaining red cell membrane (now with no haemoglobin) can often be seen on the concave side of the parasite.

'''Species significance'''

A clear banana form is typical of ''P.falciparum'' indicating that diagnosis - although other features must fit, and be sure to exclude artefact.

This is a squashed and distorted trophozoite of ''P.vivax'' that has been compressed by the red cells around it. The signs of external compression and but also the presence of Schüffner's dots in the cytoplasm of the red cell should make it clear that this is not ''P.falciparum''.
