Gwar [14]

Answer:

E. Malaria

Explanation:

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.
