(ii) First it undergoes asexual reproduction when the parasites burst the liver cells by multiplying itself that are released into the blood.

 

(iii) Again it bursts the RBC by entering the RBC cells multiplying by the means of asexual reproduction.

 

(iv) Along with the bursting of RBC cells, a toxic element called haemozoin is released that causes chill in the body of the human being.

 

(v) Gametocytes multiply forming from the sporozoites that multiply sexually.

 

(vi) Gametocytes are introduced into the mosquito when the female Anopheles mosquito bites the diseased person.
