Not a patient, but I work in the Peruvian rainforest and have seen these around a few times. They seem to hover and fly in an 'air-hopping' fashion. Locals report people bitten by these baddies usually develop a small subcutaneous worm that they call 'Tupe' and I get to treat as a myasis. No name given for this guy. If anyone has seen it before, I'd love some insight. Thanks!

Plasmodium vivax schizont stage in a thin smear of a patient. Note that the number of merozoites contained in the schizont it's around 12-24 which is highly suggestive of Plasmodium vivax. Plasmodium falciparum may contain the same amount but they are rarely seen. Ring form and gametocyte morphology will help in their differentiation.
