What disease(s) can this parasite cause?
When the mosquito bites
a human, sporozoites enter
bloodstream and reach liver.
Sporozoite
In the gut of a female
mosquito carrying the
malarial parasite
Plasmodium, zygotes
of the parasite develop
into sporozoites, which
migrate to her salivary
gland.
Sporozoites
Sporozoites reproduce
asexually in liver cells.
Some merozoites
return to liver and
are basis for more
episodes of malaria.
Merozoite
Other merozoites develop into male
and female gametocytes, which are
released into bloodstream.
A biting female mosquito
Progeny (merozoties)
enter bloodstream,
invade red blood cells,
sucks blood from infected
human. Gametocytes in
the blood reach her gut,
mature into gametes used
in sexual reproduction.
and reproduce asexually.
They may do this many
times over a prolonged
period.
