(a) cryptomerozoties

(b) metacryptomerozoites

(c) merozoites

(d) trophozoites.

Answer 1

Answer is (c)

Malaria fever coincides with liberation of Merozoites

1. Merozoites are the stages in the life cycle of the malarial parasite.
2. Merozoites are small motile bodies released in large numbers after asexual division of the schizont in red blood cells.

The malaria parasite life cycle involves two hosts.

1. In blood a malaria-infected female Anopheles mosquito inoculates sporozoites into the human host .
2. Sporozoites infect liver cells and mature into schizonts , which rupture and release merozoites
