Plasmodium ovale?
Correct! Excellent work.
We thought this was rather a nice gametocyte, even though
the history may be slightly misleading (P.ovale is found

Malarial parasites not seen?
Sorry! Try again.
There is a rather prominent parasite in the centre of this field. Have another look at the images in the Diagnosis section and then try again paying particular attention to the size and shape of the infected red cell.
