Extract

The different types of malaria pigment occurring in oocysts of naturally infected Anopheles caught in human dwellings at Kampala, Uganda, are described and figured (selection from 204 camera lucida drawings).

The exact significance of each particular type of pigment is uncertain and in the present state of our knowledge it is not possible to do more than to place them tentatively into four groups and to indicate to which species they probably belong.
