- Malaria cycle
- Plasmodium carried to the liver via blood.
- Mosquito inject infected saliva and anticoagulant
- Plasmodium into hepatocytes by mitosis
- Hepatocytes rupture, release plasmodium into blood.
- Plasmodium infects erythrocytes.
- Plasmodium replicates (mitosis) in erythrocytes
- Infected erythrocytes rupture, release plasmodium to infect other erythrocytes
- Infection and rupture coincide with malarial fevers
- Erythrocytes containing plasmodium gametes don't harm humans.
- Another mosquito bites the infected human, takes plasmodium gametes from the human’s blood.
- gametes fuse in the mosquito’s stomach and form plasmodium
- plasmodium migrates to the mosquito’s salivary gland.
- Mosquito inject infected saliva and anticoagulant
- plasmodium migrates to the mosquito’s salivary gland.
- gametes fuse in the mosquito’s stomach and form plasmodium
- Another mosquito bites the infected human, takes plasmodium gametes from the human’s blood.
- some differentiate into plasmodium gametes
- Infected erythrocytes rupture, release plasmodium to infect other erythrocytes
- Plasmodium replicates (mitosis) in erythrocytes
- Plasmodium infects erythrocytes.
- Hepatocytes rupture, release plasmodium into blood.
