[Host] person [Stage] pre-erythrocytic schizogonous cycle (asexual) [Description] The sporozoites are carried in the blood to the person’s liver and enter liver parenchyma cells. The sporozoite grows through feeding on the cell contents and changes to a schizont which is the form that undergoes multiple division, termed schizogony. This process of schizogony in the liver cell produces 2000-40000 separate tiny individuals termed merozoites. A merozoite then either infects another liver cell and repeats the cycle or it passes out of the liver into the blood and enters the erythrocyte schizogonous cycle. The period in the liver lasts 6-16 days. [Place]
