Plasmodium falciparum?

Correct!  Well done!

Continuing with the same theme for this Series of only one parasite being present, you were able to correctly identify from the size and shape of the ring form and the normocytic infected red cell, a case of P falciparum.

First class effort!

Plasmodium vivax?

Sorry!  Try again.

Even though we are continuing with the same theme for this Series of only one parasite on display, by carefully observing the prominent features, you should be able to correctly identify the species.  Take another look and note especially the size and shape of the infected red cell and parasite.

Malarial parasites not seen?

Sorry!

There is only one parasite on display in this field, towards the top right hand side.  By carefully observing the prominent features, you should be able to correctly identify the species.  Take another look and note especially the size and shape of the infected red cell and parasite.
