They drink the blood of someone infected with Malaria. They take in many forms of the parasite, including gametocytes.

During this release of saliva, the sporozoites are released into the blood stream. This individual is now infected with the protist that causes malaria. ]]> 2019-04-07 23:48:33 UTC https://padlet.com/sierrapetties/ydrxahwnydp4/wish/349317351 sierrapetties https://padlet.com/sierrapetties/ydrxahwnydp4/wish/349317455 The sporozoites travel to the liver, and make their way into a liver cell. There, the sporozoites develop into merozoites. Once a liver cell has too many merozoites, it will pop. The merozoites then travel into the blood stream.]]> 2019-04-07 23:49:23 UTC https://padlet.com/sierrapetties/ydrxahwnydp4/wish/349317455 sierrapetties https://padlet.com/sierrapetties/ydrxahwnydp4/wish/349317697 The merozoites then infect red blood cells. A similar process occurs as in the liver -- the merozoites reproduce rapidly. Once there are too many merozoites in a red blood cell it will pop and die, while at the same time releasing thousands of new merozoites into the blood stream.]]> 2019-04-07 23:51:19 UTC https://padlet.com/sierrapetties/ydrxahwnydp4/wish/349317697 sierrapetties https://padlet.com/sierrapetties/ydrxahwnydp4/wish/349317949 Animals to produce new red blood cells. The only problem is the speed of the reproduction. The speed that the merozoites attack and pop the red blood cells is faster than the speed that the body produces new red blood cells.]]> 2019-04-07 23:53:02 UTC https://padlet.com/sierrapetties/ydrxahwnydp4/wish/349317949 sierrapetties https://padlet.com/sierrapetties/ydrxahwnydp4/wish/349318178 Instead of just popping red blood cells, some merozoites instead develop to their sexual form. They become gametocytes.
