The plasmodial parasite is transmitted to humans through the bite of a female Anopheles mosquito, or by an infected, blood-contaminated, needle. Sporozoans reproduce asexually in human cells by a process called schizogony, in which multiple nuclear divisions are followed by the envelopment of the nuclei by cell walls producing merozoites. These, in turn, become trophozoites. Sexual reproduction occurs in the mosquito, where new spores (sporozoites) are formed.
