[Host] mosquito [Stage] gamete formation [Description] Female gametocytes transform into macrogametes, a process that includes the reduction of the chromosomes to the haploid number. The nucleus of the male gametocyte divides up into several elongate protoplasmic processes that radiate from the surface of the male gametocyte. Each of these processes becomes a male gamete termed a microgamete which is equivalent to a mammalian spermatozoon. The process by which the microgametes break away from the surface of the male gametocyte is termed exflagellation. [Place]
