How Malaria Works (life cycle)

malaria life cycle in man and mosquito.......

 

Very good images and a good explanation of how malaria infects both human and mosquito systems. Good watch!

 

Plasmodium life cycle terms::

Sporozoites - what is injected into the next host

Trophozoite - what is growing the the hepatocytes *exoerythrocytic cycle

Merozoites - what leaves the liver and enters the RBCs --> ring stage --> kill RBC --> infect more RBCs or become gametocytes to be taken up by another mosquito --> gametes in mosquito

paroxysms - the symptoms of malaria from toxins released with RBC lysis
