Solution
The correct option is A Erythrocytic schizogony
- In malaria, the life cycle of
Plasmodium can be divided into two distinct phases i.e., the
asexual cycle in humans and the sexual cycle in mosquitoes. To begin
the asexual cycle in humans, an infected female Anopheles
mosquito injects sporozoites into the new human host and enters liver
(exo-erythrocytic cycle).
-
After the exo-erythrocytic cycle, the merozoites
invade the red blood cells where they undergo another asexual cycle
called erythrocytic schizogony. It is important to note that at this
stage, clinical symptoms of malaria develop such as high fever,
chills etc.
-
So, the correct answer is
'Erythrocytic schizogony'.
