Carinamoeba is a subgenus of the genus Plasmodium - all of which are parasitic unicellular eukaryotes.

The subgenus was created in 1966 by Garnham.[1] Species in this subgenus infect reptiles.

Diagnostic features

The original criterion for inclusion in this genus was the presence of small schizonts giving rise to 8 or less merozoites. The criteria were subsequently revised by Telford in 1988.[2]

Species in the subgenus Carinamoeba have the following characteristics:[citation needed]

Small schizonts giving rise to 8 or less merozoites

The gametocytes like the schizonts are small.
