Schizogony refers to the process of asexual reproduction through the process of multiple fission. The malaria parasite, <em>Plasmodium</em> species, enters the human body through the bite of female anopheles mosquitoes.
These mosquitoes carry haploid sporozoites in their saliva which are released into the bloodstream of human. The haploid sporozoites enter the liver cells where they multiply and increase their number through the process of multiple fission.
The process of schizogony in sporozoites of malaria parasite produces merozoites which are then released from the liver cells.
Schizogony is defined as the process of asexual reproduction. During Schizogony, the nucleus divides before cell division and produces daughter cells.
When a person has malaria, the parasites first grow in the liver and then move to the red blood cells. These blood parasites are in both male and female forms (asexual reproduction).
