Malaria. Animation showing a red blood cell bursting and releasing the malaria parasite (Plasmodium sp.). This is the schizont stage in the parasite's life cycle, and the blood cell is filled with merozoites, which erupt into the bloodstream. The merozoites replicate and destroy red blood cells causing anaemia and the severe cyclic fevers of malaria. Plasmodium is a parasitic protozoan that is spread by the bites of infected mosquitoes. | |
