Overview of malaria lifecycle


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!
