Malaria parasite \Malaria parasite\ Any of several minute protozoans of the genus {Plasmodium} (syn. {H[91]matozo[94]n}) which in their adult condition live in the tissues of mosquitoes of the genus {Anopheles} (which see) and when transferred to the blood of man, by the bite of the mosquito, produce malaria. Note: The young parasites, or sporozoites, enter the red blood corpuscles, growing at their expense, undergoing sporulation, and finally destroying the corpuscles, thus liberating in the blood plasma an immense number of small spores called merozoites. An indefinite but not ultimated number of such generations may follow, but if meanwhile the host is bitten by a mosquito, the parasites develop into gametes in the stomach of the insect. These conjugate, the zygote thus produced divides, forming spores, and eventually sporozoites, which, penetrating to the salivary glands of the mosquito, may be introduced into a new host. The attacks of the disease coincide with the dissolution of the corpuscles and liberation of the spores and products of growth of the parasites into the blood plasma. Several species of the parasite are distinguished, as {P. vivax}, producing tertian malaria; {P. malari[91]}, quartan malaria; and {P. (subgenus Laverania) falciferum}, the malarial fever of summer and autumn common in the tropics. | |

Milarepa written in a mixture of {BNF} and {Perl} and generates Perl source, which, when enclosed in a simple wrapper, parses the language described by the grammar. Milarepa is not restricted to {LRn grammars}, and the parse logic follows directly from the BNF. It handles {ambiguous grammar}s, ambiguous tokens (tokens which were not positively identified by the lexer) and allows the programmer to change the start symbol. The grammar may not be {left recursive}. The input must be divided into sentences of a finite maximum length. There is no fixed distinction between {terminal}s and non-terminals, that is, a symbol can both match the input AND be on the left hand side of a production. Multiple Marpa grammars are allowed in a single Perl program. Version: Prototype 1.0. Posted to comp.lang.perl. The author is seeking an FTP site to hold the software. (1993-03-17) |
