Central chromatin dot form Early or late trophozoites in which the chromatin dot lies within the central vacuole of the parasite are observed with higher frequency in P.malariae than with other species, and though not fully characteristic of the species they contribute to diagnosis if other features ae consistent. Central chromatin dot may also be seen in cells infected by other species; shown for P.falciparum, P.ovale (note the James' dots), or P.vivax (with prominent Schüffner's dots and visible pigment). P.falciparum P.ovale P.vivax

-<span style="font-size:90%">The dots of different species represent parasite proteins that modify red cell function in a range of ways to support parasite development, immun evasion or virulence. Their precise functions are ill defined, but their appearances have value in distinguishing the different species of parasite. The dots require a well-stained specimen to be easily seen!</span>

These two forms of dots are morphologically indistinguishable as frequent evenly-distrubuted round dots od similar size.</span>
