Laverania

Laverania

"Laverania" is a subgenus of the genus "Plasmodium". The subgenus was created in 1958 by Bray. Bray R. S. (1958) Studies on malaria in chimpanzees. VI. "Laverania falciparum". Am. J. Trop. Med. Hyg. 7(1):20–24 ] The subgenus contains only species: "Plasmodium falciparum" and "Plasmodium reichenowi".

The name was first proposed by Welch in 1897 as a genus name for the group now known as "Plasmodium" but for a variety of reasons the genus name "Plasmodium" was preferred.
