| Life-cycle:first stage of development in humans following mosquito infection | | |
| First stage of development sprorozoites multiply in the liver to form: | | |
| Erythrocytic stage begins when | | |
| Merozoites invade red blood cells forming | | |
| One cycle of liver cell invasion and multiplication: | | |
