Thumbnail	Description & Credit	Thumbnail	Description & Credit
	Blood smear showing larger trophic stage of Babesia microti in erythrocyte. Protozoon, parasite.Credit: CDC.		This erythrocyte contains new merozoites, which when released will develop into male and female gametocytes. P. malariae causes quartan malaria producing febrile paroxysms at 72 hour intervals.Credit: CDC.
	The trophozoites represent stages in the Plasmodium spp. life cycle, right after a blood or liver cell has been infected by a sporozoite. This image shows a erythrocyte having become a mature trophozoite.Credit: CDC.		Plasmodium vivax ring form trophozoite in erythrocyte that shows basophilic stippling. Parasite.Credit: CDC.
	The Schizont stage of the life cycle precedes the formation of merozoites, which will be released to go on to infect more red blood cells. This erythrocyte contains a young immature schizont with underdeveloped merozoites.Credit: CDC.		Here we see three infected red blood cells, (RBC), during erythrocytic schizogony. One normal erythrocyte containing one ring, one RBC containing a ring with 2 chromatin dots, and another RBC infected with two parasites simultaneously.Credit: CDC.
	As the parasite increases in size, the ring morphology disappears, and becomes what is referred to as a mature trophozoite. The trophozoite of P. vivax is ameboid in shape, and the enlarged infected erythrocyte contains numerous Schuffner's dots.Credit: CDC.		Microgametocytes are smaller than macrogametocytes. They are oval and almost fill the erythrocyte. They tend to stain lighter than macrogametocytes and have a more diffuse nucleus.Credit: CDC.
