Vinckeia
Vinckeia is a subgenus of the genus Plasmodium - all of which are parasitic protozoa. The subgenus Vinckeia was created by Garnham in 1964 to accommodate the mammalian parasites other than those infecting the primates.[1][2]

Diagnostic features
Species in this subgenus infect mammals other than the higher primates. Species infecting lemurs have since been included in this subgenus. This classification may not be correct.[3]
Schizonts: These do not fill the erythrocyte and do not show true stippling. They give rise normally to 8 or fewer merozoites. Schizongony normally takes three days or less.
Merozoites:
Gametocytes: These are spherical
