Document Summary

Ambiguously identifying unknown organisms/bacteria via the scientific method. Consequences: wipes out all bacteria including good ones. Hides in liver (p. vivax & p. ovale) Fever & chills (results of rbc deficiency) Most survive but are sick for a long time. Not easily transmitted fr person to person. Crucial for plasmodium-sexual repro though some point in life cycle. Has to evolve & adapt through to diff hosts. Done for varied progeny to be able to adapt to two diff hosts. Zygote attaching to the wall of mosquito gut & burying itself. Sporozoites migration harms mosquito by shortening lifespan. Hypnozoites (only for p. vivax & p. ovale) Great strategy for host living in low population density. Ruptures out of live blood stream r rbc (avoid. Mosquitoes suck gametocytes to start sexual repro cycle/repeat. Grips to cell walls via hiding inside rbc. Devours contents to create more parasites becomes sticky & grips on to blood cell walls infected cell bursts spreading more parasites.
