Which one of the following is the infective stage of the Malarial Parasite?

a

sporozoite

b

trophozoite

c

sporoblast

d

schigozoite

Answer : Option A
Explanation :

When a mosquito sucks the blood of a person who has malaria parasites in his or her blood, the mosquito picks male and female gametocytes where they undergo a series of changes to become sporozoites. The sporozoites are the infective stages of malaria parasites in the mosquito. This process takes about 10 -14 days depending on environmental temperature.
