Plasmodium chabaudi is an Apicomplexa protozoan that causes malaria in rodents.
P. chabaudi was first isolated from the blood of a shiny thicket rat Thamnomys rutilans in the Central African Republic in Africa, by I. Landau and A. Chabaud in 1965. Two subspecies have been defined, P. chabaudi chabaudi and P. chabaudi adami.
