AMA-1 appears to be transported to the merozoite surface close to the time of schizont rupture. The 66kDa merozoite surface antigen (PK66) of Plasmodium...

sporozoites that enter its cells. Eventually, the cells burst, releasing merozoites, which infect new cells. This may occur several times, until gamonts are...

cells called merozoites into the blood (unlike the related P. vivax, P. knowlesi does not make latent hypnozoites in the liver). The merozoites in the blood...

parasites. In the liver stage, many thousands of merozoites are produced in each schizont. As the merozoites are released, they invade erythrocytes and initiate...
