Although each species alters the red cell that they occupy, for ''P.faciparum'' the changes are relatively modest for trophozoites (and for the rarely seen schizonts). The changes are much more significant for gametocytes but these are considered separately.

How is red cell size and shape affected in P.falciparum?
The early (A) trophozoites lie within red cells that do not change size or shape, at later development (B) they may remain unchanged or acquire subtle crenation. |
