Examples of sporozoite in the following topics:
-
- The oocyst is comprised of sporocytes which contain sporozoites.
- Upon release of the sporozoites, the epithelial cells of the intestine are penetrated.
- Within the intestinal cells, the sporozoites undergo multiple fission and develop into meronts which contain merozoites.
- In the environment (2), sporulation occurs after days or weeks at temperatures between 22°C to 32°C, resulting in division of the sporont into two sporocysts, each containing two elongate sporozoites (3).
- The oocysts excyst in the gastrointestinal tract, freeing the sporozoites which invade the epithelial cells of the small intestine (6).
-
- The oocysts, once ingested, excyst within the small intestine and release sporozoites which attach to the microvilli.
- The sporozoites then develop into trophozoites and undergo asexual reproduction via schizogony.
- The zygote further develops into the oocyst which can either reinfect the host by rupturing and releasing sporozoites or be excreted into the environment .
-
- During a blood meal, the tick introduces sporozoites into the mouse host.
- The sporozoites enter the erythrocytes and undergo asexual reproduction as previously mentioned.
- The gametes will unite and undergo a sporogonic cycle resulting in sporozoite.
- The tick will introduce the sporozoites and the cycle will proceed.
-
- The Anopheles mosquito transmits the parasites, called sporozoites, upon biting the hosts, into the bloodstream to the liver, where the parasites continue their life cycle.
- Malarial sporozoites develop inside oocysts and are released in large numbers into the hemocoel of Anopheles stephensi mosquitoes.
- This false-colored electron micrograph shows a sporozoite migrating through the cytoplasm of midgut epithelia.
