Novyella is a subgenus of the genus Plasmodium - all of which are parastic protozoa. The subgenus was created in 1963 by created by Corradetti et al.. [1] Species in this subgenus infect birds. It unites the avian malaria parasites with small erythrocytic meronts and elongated gametocytes.

The type species is Plasmodium vaughani.

Diagnostic features

Species in the subgenus Novyella have the following characteristics:

  • Mature schizonts are either smaller than or only slightly larger than the host nucleus. They contain scanty cytoplasm.
  • Gametocytes are elongated. Sexual stages in this subgenus resemble those of Haemoproteus.
  • Exoerythrocytic schizogony occurs in the mononuclear phagocyte system


In most species in this subgenus a blue, pale blue or white globule, frequently refractory, can be found in the cytoplasm.
