Overview


Descriptions


1. Initial infection of the human host
The initial stage following the mosquito bite during which infection is established and from which re-crudescence of infection may recrudesce
Click for more about this stage


2. The trophozoite stage
This is the initial growth stage where the ring form grows, often chhanges, and modifies the erythocyte, the characteristic morphological features of species develop during this stage.
Click for more about this stage


3. Schizonts:
This is the asexual replication stage that has significant variabilty as they mature, it is the stage responsible for intermittent fevers in some malaria cases.
Click for more about this stage


4. Gametocytes:
Sexual replication, male and female forms, persistence after treatment


5. Re-infection of mosquito:
Replication in mosquito, stored samples and exflagellation
