| Overview of malaria lifecycle |
The lifecycle of malaria is shown below. Parasites move from the mosquito to mammal host, then back again (click on the image for a size version). Each
stage has clinical and often morphological relevance - these are described in the other links in the section.
Infection of the mosquito
| Specific stages |
- Pre-erythrocytic (liver) stage
- Biology of the trohozoite stage
- Biology of the schizont
- Biology of the gametocyte
- Re-infection of the mosquito
- The host response to malaria
