Hb<9 gm/dl was taken as positive finding; it results from accelerated RBC removal by the spleen, obligatory RBC destruction at parasite schizogony, and ineffective erythropoiesis.

AFEBRILE MALARIA

They form preerythrocytic schizonts and multiply by schizogony, culminating in the production of 8-24 first generation merozoites that are released into the blood when the liver schizonts burst open [8].

Mathematical Model for Hepatocytic-Erythrocytic Dynamics of Malaria

In erythrocytic schizogony, a single merozoite grows and forms 16-32 daughter merozoites.

Immune Response and Evasion Mechanisms of Plasmodium falciparum Parasites

Eimeria life cycle is quite complex comprising of endogenous stage (gametogony and schizogony) and exogenous stage (sporogony).

Role of Herbal Immunomodulators in Control of Coccidiosis Disease

By this amplification process (known as intrahepatic or pre-erythrocytic schizogony or merogony), a single sporozoite eventually may produce from 10,000 to >30,000 daughter merozoites.

A STUDY OF INCIDENCE AND PROGNOSTIC SIGNIFICANCE OF RENAL IMPAIRMENT IN PATIENTS SUFFERING FROM MALARIA

Circulating bilirubin levels increase due to hemolysis during erythrocytic schizogony; this hyperbilirubinemia is mild and does not generate intense jaundice [40, 41].

Urinalysis and Clinical Correlations in Patients with P. vivax or P. falciparum Malaria from Colombia

The life cycle of all apicomplexans consists of 3 major phases: schizogony (an asexual phase with multiple mitoses), gametogony (a sexual phase involving progression from gametocytes to gametes which join to form a zygote), and sporogony (another asexual phase consisting of infective sporozoites forming within the zygote).

What is your diagnosis?

Wroczynska and Kotlowski believe that the development of Plasmodium consists of two division cycles: hepatic schizogony, corresponding to the asymptomatic period of the disease incubation and blood stage schizogony, corresponding to clinical symptoms [16].
