| Overview |
| Understanding the stages |
1. Initial infection: infection of humans, incubation period, and re-crudecence of infection
2. Trophozoites: Growth, modification of the erythrocyte, variability of form
3. Schizonts: asexual replication in blood, morphological variabilty, intermittent fevers
4. Gametocytes: sexual replication, male and female forms, persistence after treatment
5. Re-infection of the mosquito: the mosquito stage, stored samples and exflagellation
