The schizont stages of Plasmodium spp. development include the formation of merozoites, which in this case, are ready to be released back into the blood to once again begin schizogony, infecting new red blood cells, or grow into gametocytes.Credit: CDC.

Malarial parasites undergo asexual multiplication in the erythrocytes, i.e. erythrocytic schizogony. During the ring stage, this trophozoite, seen here in center, will mature into a schizont, which will rupture releasing merozoites.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.

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.

Malarial parasites undergo asexual multiplication in the erythrocytes, i.e. erythrocytic schizogony. During the ring stage, trophozoites will mature into schizonts, eventually rupturing, releasing more merozoites further infecting more erythrocytes.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.

Health

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)
