Unlike the species name, the genus name of an organism can stand its own. When it is written alone, it must start with a capital letter and must be underlined if handwritten or italicized if typed.
Examples
- Plasmodium vivax (genus and species, must be underlined/italicized)
- Plasmodium (genus name only, must be underlined/italicized)
- P.vivax (genus shortened with species name, must be underline/italicized)
- vivax (should never be written, practically meaningless)
