Plasmodium, commonly known as the malaria parasite, is a large genus of parasitic protozoa. Infection with these protozoans is known as malaria, a deadly disease widespread in the tropics. The parasite always has two hosts in its life cycle: a mosquito vector and a vertebrate host. The life-cycle is very complex, involving a sequence of different ...

[life cycle] A plasmodium is an amoeboid, multinucleate and naked mass of protoplasm having many diploid nuclei and is the result of many nuclear divisions without cytokinesis (coenocyte) and it usually refers to the feeding stage of macroscopic slime molds (i.e. myxomycetes). It can also refer to the multinucleate developmental stages (i.e...

• (n.) A jellylike mass of free protoplasm, without any union of amoeboid cells, and endowed with life and power of motion. • (n.) A naked mobile mass of protoplasm, formed by the union of several amoebalike young, and constituting one of the stages in the life cycle of Mycetozoa and other low organisms.

Genus of parasitic protozoa that cause malaria. The life-cycle is complex, involving several changes in cellular morphology and behaviour. Intermediate host is female mosquito (Anopheles > Anopheles) that infects vertebrate host when taking a blood meal. Predominant form of the organism in humans is the intracellular parasite (the merozoite) in the erythrocyte, where it undergoes a form of multiple cell division termed schizogony. As a result the erythrocyte bursts and the progeny infect other erythrocytes. Eventually some cells develop into gametes that, when ingested by a female mosquito, will fuse in her gut to form a zygote (ookinete). Multiple cell division within the resultant oocyte, attached to the gut wall, gives rise to infective sporozoites; these migrate to the salivary glands and are ejected with the saliva the next time the mosquito takes a blood-meal.
