Schizogony

Schizogony is the stage of asexual reproduction in the life cycle of sporozoans (protozoan parasites) that live in the liver or red blood cells.

At the schizogony stage, parasites actively grow and undergo multiple divisions, resulting in the formation of a schizont. A schizont is a cell containing a large number of merozoites - daughter cells of the parasite.

The final release of merozoites of the malarial parasite of the genus Plasmodium from blood cells leads to massive infection of new red blood cells and the development of severe chills and high fever in the patient.

Thus, schizogony plays an important role in the rapid increase in parasitemia in malaria and other sporozoal infections.

Schizogony is a stage of asexual reproduction in protozoan parasites that live in human blood. It occurs in liver cells or red blood cells and is accompanied by repeated division of parasites. As a result of this process, a schizont is formed - a cell containing many merozoites (young individuals).

Schizogony is an important stage in the life cycle of malaria parasites of the genus Plasmodium. During the development of a schizont, merozoites are gradually released from the cells and begin to multiply in the blood. This leads to symptoms of malaria - high fever and chills.

During the process of schizogony, the parasite can be exposed to the host's immune system, which can lead to death or a decrease in its number. However, if schizonts are not eradicated, they can cause reinfection and recurrent schizogony. In some cases, schizogony can lead to serious complications such as malaria and other blood diseases.
