| 31. | Fusion of a macrogamont and a microgamont creates a zygote which develops into an oocyst.
|
| 32. | This cell membrane becomes folded and the nuclei sink in ( the oocyst stage ).
|
| 33. | Within each oocyst there are 8 or more free sporozoites and a large oocyst residuum.
|
| 34. | Within each oocyst there are 8 or more free sporozoites and a large oocyst residuum.
|
| 35. | The oocyst is somewhat unusual with a double layered wall which surrounds up to 18 sporocysts.
|
| 36. | There are 16 sporocysts per oocyst ( heccaidesporocystid ) with 4 sporozoites ( tetrazoic ) in each.
|
| 37. | Zygotes are produced by the fusion of two gametes and these in turn become surrounded by an oocyst wall.
|
| 38. | The oocyst must be attacked from multiple layers as it is formed of two walls : proteins and lipids.
|
| 39. | The fertilized macrogamete forms a zygote that in its turn forms an oocyst that is normally released from the body.
|
| 40. | The resulting ookinete traverses the mosquito gut wall and encysts on the exterior of the gut wall as an oocyst.
