Malaria. Coloured transmission electron micrograph of a human red blood cell infected by the malaria parasite,a protozoa of the genus Plasmodium. The green areas are Plasmodium cells called merozoites,produced by asexual division (schizogony). The merozoites will burst from the cell & infect other red cells. The synchronised release of merozoites in the body causes bouts of shivering,fever & sweating,symptoms of the disease. The sexual phase of the Plasmodium life cycle occurs in the stomach and digestive glands of the malaria mosquito,Anopheles sp. Magnification: x7,700 at 6x7cm size. x23,000 at 8x10ins | |
