explain life cycle of plasimodium and its classification

Dear student
The life cycle ofPlasmodiuminvolves several distinct stages in the insect and vertebratehosts. Parasites are generally introduced into a vertebrate host by the bite of an insect host (generally a mosquito, with the exception of somePlasmodiumspecies of reptiles).[10]Parasites first infect the liver or other tissue, where they undergo a single large round of replication before exiting the host cell to infecterythrocytes.[11]At this point, some species ofPlasmodiumof primates can form a long-lived dormant stage called a hypnozoite.[12]It can remain in the liver for more than a year.
