Question

Lifecycle of plasmodium in human host​

Answer 1

Life cycle of plasmodium in human host consists of 7-10 days survival, causing infection and eradication after getting treatment.

Explanation:

Plasmodium is the malaria parasite that causes malaria in humans. The parasite requires two hosts so the life cycle of the parasite includes vertebrates and insect hosts. The life cycle begins from a blood-feeding insect and then into a human host.

When a blood-feeding insect, say a female Anopheles mosquito, makes contact with a human body, it injects parasites in the form of 'sporozoites' into the body. This makes human the second host.  The sporozoites then travel through the blood stream and enter lever where they first begin to multiply asexually. This continues for 7 to 10 days without any evidence of symptoms. Then they begin to multiply in red blood cells and continue until the cell bursts. 'Merozoites' are released after each cell break that continue the cycle of multiplication and infect the other red blood cells. Humans spike fever when parasites break free and enter bloodstream, showing the symptoms of Malaria.
