Hammondia hammondi is a protozoan parasite that, until 1975, was misidentified as Toxoplasma gondii. Recently, the validity of H. hammondi has been questioned. In this article, the authors redescribe the parasite and its life cycle, provide accession numbers to its specimens deposited in a museum, and distinguish it structurally and biologically from T gondii. Hammondia hammondi was found to be structurally, biologically, and molecularly different from T. gondii. Published by Elsevier Ltd. on behalf of Australian Society for Parasitology Inc.
