| 21. | The parasitic, infectious cell that infects a host is called a sporozoite.
|
| 22. | Once infecting the host organisms cell, the sporozoite begins feeding and growing.
|
| 23. | This process of sporogony produces mobile vermiform infectious sporozoites.
|
| 24. | Sporozoites appear in the salivary glands about day 14.
|
| 25. | Within the sporocyst sporogony generates 20 to 30 sporozoites.
|
| 26. | On feeding some of the sporozoites enter the gut.
|
| 27. | Only the oocysts and released sporozoites have been described.
|
| 28. | The sporocysts have four sporocysts each with two sporozoites.
|
| 29. | The most commonly described stages the sporozoites found in the peripheral blood erythrocytes.
|
| 30. | The sporozoite attaches to or penetrates the intestinal wall.
