Hepatocystis carpenteri is a species of parasitic protozoa.[1] They are transmitted by flies of the genus Culicoides and infect mammals.
This species was described by Miltgen et al. in 1980.[1]
This species is found in Gabon.
The intrahepatic schizonts (maximum 900 by 450 micrometres or 0.035 by 0.018 inches) are larger than those of other species and the cyst wall has a spongy appearance which appears to be unique.
It must be distinguished from Hepatocystis epomophori and Hepatocystis brosseti.
This species is known to infect the hammer-headed bat (Hypsignathus monstrosus).
