Overview

1. Initial infection
Infection of humans: understand the incubation period and re-crudecence of infection

2. Trophozoites
Understand 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

-The lifecycle of malaria is shown below moving from the mosquito (the innocent bystander) to mammal host (the victim) the back again - this has been made small for mobile users but click on the image for a size version.
-Each of these stages including the pre-erythrocytic and re-infection stages have clinical and often morphological relevance - these are described in the other links in the section, they don't take long to read and hopefully you will find them useful!
