Abstract
The lizard malarias are a taxonomically and ecologically diverse group of parasites that offer excellent models for research on the ecology of malaria in free-ranging non-human vertebrate hosts. Studies over the past decade show that plasmodia of lizards can play an important role in the ecology and behavior of their hosts. The behavior of malarial infections in lizards also reveals unsuspected variation in the life history of Plasmodium.Entities:
