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).

Knowledge of each stage is useful since each has clinical, and often morphological relevance (see links later in the section)

More detailed information

Pre-erythrocytic (liver) stage: understand the incubation period and re-crudecence of infection in some species
Biology of the trohozoite stage
Biology of the schizont
Biology of the gametocyte
Re-infection of the mosquito
The host response to malaria
