• Primary Host is female anopheles  mosquito where they completed their sexual phase of their life cycle. Secondary host is Human where they completed the asexual phase of their life cycle.
• The sexual stage of Plasmodium  life cycle begin in Human  as gametocyte formation takes place within RBC.
• This gametocyte containing blood is ingested by mosquito and then it is converted to male gamete(Microgamete)and female gamete (macrogamete) and fuse to form zygote within midgut of mosquito.
• After fertilization, zygote is converted to ookinete and penetrate the midgut wall and ookinete then form oocyst. Thus sexual stage is completed within midgut of female anopheles mosquito.
