Describe the structure of sporozoite of plasmodium vivax.

Explanation

The ultra structure of the sporozoite of P. vivax was Apical cup studied by barnham. It is sickle shaped with a swollen middle part and pointed at both ends of it.s body. It Secretory organelles measures about 15 microns in length and one micron in width. The body is covered by an elastic pellicle with - Pellice microtubules which help in the curiggling movement of the sporozoite. The cytoplasm contains cell organells such --Golgi complex as Golgi complex, E.R. mitochondria and a nucleus. - Nucleus Cytoplasm also shows many convoluted tubules of -Convoluted tubule unknown function throughout the body. It contains.a cup Mitochondrian like depression called apical. cup at the anterior and into which a pair of secretory organells opens. They secrete a Microtuble - cytolytic enzyme which helps in the penetration of Structure of sporozoite sporozoite into the liver cell.
