Schizonts, which mature from sporozoites—the form of parasite transmitted to humans in the saliva of Anopheles mosquitoes—contain insoluble iron called hemozoin. Hemozoin is formed …

Extensive Plasmodium proliferation inside erythrocytes causes all malaria-related pathology and generates high numbers of progeny by an unconventional cell cycle mode, termed schizogony.

Merozoites infect red blood cells . The ring stage trophozoites mature into schizonts, which rupture releasing merozoites . Some parasites differentiate into sexual erythrocytic stages …

Schüffner’s dots can be demonstrated in Giemsa stain, which is preferred to Wright or Wright-Giemsa stains. In P. falciparum infections, red blood cells (rbcs) are normal in size. Typically …

Schüffner’s dots can be demonstrated in Giemsa stain, which is preferred to Wright or Wright-Giemsa stains. In P. malariae infections, red blood cells (rbcs) are normal or smaller than …

schizont A stage in the life-cycle of a sporozoan parasite, especially a malarial parasite. A schizont reproduces by SCHIZOGONY producing multiple trophozoites or merozoites.

Schizont: the stage of P. falciparum intraerythrocytic asexual development from the onset of parasite nuclear division to the production of the progeny of individual mature merozoites …
