in which stages the plasmodium not digested in stomach of female anopheles mosquito
Answers
Anopheles inoculated sporozoites in the human body during blood meal withdraw and follow its life cycle into two stages:-
1. Asexual Phase (infected stage in human by sporozoites)
2. Sexual Phase (infected stage in mosquito is gametocytes)
Sporozoites enter into the liver cells called as hepatocytes that mature into schizonts & divide into daughter cells merozoites, and which infects red blood cells. In RBC, merozoites developed into trophozoites which then develops into merozoites. Again some trophozoites form gametocytes by
a sexual method and infect the mosquitos. Inside mosquito, again formation of sporozoites takes place and again infected to the human body. This cycle repeats again n again.
So, the correct answer is 'Gametocytes'
