The authors distinguish 4 types chronologically ordered. Moreover, morphology enables one to predict their infectivity. The morphological analysis represents a tool leading to new data on the biology of gametocytes: loss of infectivity as soon as the parasitaemia becomes high; infectivity restricted to the young stages; concentration of young stages in the blood ingested by the Mosquitoes; short periodicity and short lived infectivity.Read More
