A

Plasmodium vivax and P. ovale

45
Q

Quartan malaria (72 hours).

A

Plasmodium malariae

46
Q

In P. falciparum infections, as the parasite begins to grow, the red cell membrane becomes sticky and cells adhere to the endothelial lining of the capillaries of the internal organs.

A

Pathogenicity of Malaria

47
Q

thus, only ring forms and gametocytes appear in the peripheral blood.

A

Pathogenicity of Malaria

48
Q

More pronounced in P. falciparum.

52
Q

Parasitized red cells pass through the spleen, loss their deformability, thus destroyed in the process.

Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation (DIC)

65
Q

Present in P. ovale and P. vivax.
