The first part of the scientific name of all organisms is ALWAYS capitalised. This first part of the scientific name is called the generic name or genus.
An example of an error I have found recently (in a book itself, probably a misprint) is that of homo sapiens. This is wrong. Totally wrong. The genus must always be capitalised, always have an upper case letter. The human's scientific name is Homo sapiens, not homo sapiens.
The pattern is always the same. All animals, plants, fungi, protozoa, algae, bacteria and archaebacteria must have a capital-bearing genus.
Plasmodium falciparum, Panthera leo, Bitis arietans arietans. Note that the genus always has the capital.
