Plasmodium falciparum rings in erythrocytes, blood smear. Parasite. Credit: CDC.

This erythrocyte is a mature schizont containing new merozoites, which when released will further develop into male and female gametocytes. Note the variation in size and staining of erythrocytes. Credit: CDC.

Entamoeba histolytica trophozoite, typical nucleus, no erythrocytes. Trichrome stain. Parasite, ameba. Credit: CDC.

Blood smear showing Babesia rings in erythrocytes. Protozoon, parasite. Credit: CDC.

Malarial parasites undergo asexual multiplication in the erythrocytes, i.e. erythrocytic schizogony. During the ring stage, these three trophozoites will mature into schizonts, which will rupture releasing more merozoites. Credit: CDC.

The malarial parasite Plasmodium falciparum is seen in multiple stages of development. An immature schizont is centrally located. Malarial parasites undergo asexual multiplication in the erythrocytes, i.e. erythrocytic schizogony. Credit: CDC.

The mature schizont of P. vivax contains 12 - 24 merozoites, a product of asexual division. It will eventually rupture, and the merozoites will invade other erythrocytes to repeat the erythrocytic schizogony, or will develop into gametocytes. Credit: CDC.

An immature trophozoite may mature into an erythrocytic schizont or gametocytes. When the erythrocytic schizont ruptures, merozoites spill into the blood and repeat the cycle of infecting erythrocytes. Credit: CDC.

Health

Merozoites are released to invade other erythrocytes. (references)

Most studies have examined the receptor status in readily available circulating monocytes or erythrocytes. (references)

After this initial replication in the liver (exo-erythrocytic schizogony ), the parasites undergo asexual multiplication in the erythrocytes (erythrocytic schizogony ). Merozoites infect red blood cells . The ring stage trophozoites mature into schizonts, which rupture releasing merozoites . Some parasites differentiate into sexual erythrocytic stages (gametocytes) . Blood stage parasites are responsible for the clinical manifestations of the disease. (references)
