Dear Hellsites Genetics,
I love all the hard work you do and I really appreciate it. I'm currently learning biology and I'm starting to get really into it. I hope that you are well all the time, and that you have all the luck and happiness in your future. You inspired me to study biology, and I'm really grateful for it. Thank you once again!
With love and respect,

some abstract free hand slime mold plasmodium on top of a granny square pocket 🧡 this is gonna be part of one of those harness bag things I've been seeing around.
Neurax returns to the rainforest, where Plasmodium falciparum greets it. Unfortunately the road back to the Parasites' Club is blocked, so they had to take an "alternate route."
It’s Tell a Friend Friday! Please enjoy this photo of a Fuligo septica slime mold plasmodium (for reference, the metal post is about 3/4" in diameter). Then tell someone you know about my work–you can reblog this post, or send my website, RebeccaLexa.com, to someone you think may be interested in my natural history writing, classes, and tours, as well as my book, The Everyday Naturalist: How to Identify Animals, Plants, and Fungi Wherever You Go.
The protozoa that cause malaria in humans are closely related to parasites of apes, but they have crossed over to humans, as we will see, in the relatively recent past. They are primate pathogens that adapted to humans during the course of our history.²²
22. Three species of malaria parasites (P. malariae, P. ovale wallikeri, and P. ovale curtisi) are human-adapted but cause a much lower burden of disease.
