-Cycle repeats
Plasmodium Life Cycle
-Sometimes in RBC the spore can form
a sexual form of the parasite instead of replicating
-male and female gametocytes then reproduce to make immature plasmodium cells
-when an uninfected mosquito feeds, she ingests these infected cells
-she is now a vector and can pass the plasmodium cells onto another human
-Plasmodium cells are injected into the blood stream
-These cells travel to the liver
-in the liver, these cells multiply asexually
-liver cells burst, releasing spores into blood
The Sporozoans
-Nonmotile
-have both asexual and sexual reproductive phases
-All are parasitic
-feed off of their host
-All produce spores during the asexual phase
-Plasmodium causes malaria
- transmitted by the bit of the female anopheles mosquito
Treatment
-Malaria can be treated with drugs called quinine and choloroquine
