Abstract

Hammondia hammondi is a protozoan parasite that, until 1975, was misidentified as Toxoplasma gondii. Recently, the validity of H. hammondi has been questioned. In this article, the authors redescribe the parasite and its life cycle, provide accession numbers to its specimens deposited in a museum, and distinguish it structurally and biologically from T. gondii. Hammondia hammondi was found to be structurally, biologically, and molecularly different from T. gondii.

摘要

哈蒙德氏哈蒙德原虫是一种原生动物寄生虫，在1975年之前一直被误鉴定为刚地弓形虫。最近，哈蒙德氏哈蒙德原虫的有效性受到了质疑。在本文中，作者重新描述了该寄生虫及其生命周期，提供了保存在博物馆中的标本的登录号，并从结构和生物学上与刚地弓形虫进行了区分。研究发现，哈蒙德氏哈蒙德原虫在结构、生物学和分子方面都与刚地弓形虫不同。
