Overview |
1. Initial infection
Infection of humans: understand the incubation period and re-crudecence of infection
2. Trophozoites
Parasite growth, modification of the erythrocyte, metabolism of haemoglobin
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
