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