The sporozoites that cause infection, when a female Anopheles mosquito bites a person, are formed in

A

liver of the person

B

RBCs of mosquito

C

salivary glands of mosquito

D

intestine of mosquito.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
When a female Anophales mosquito bites an infected person, gemetocyte of Plasmodium enter the mosquito's body and undergo further development. Mature infective stage (sponrozoite) escape from intestine and migrate to salivary gland of mosquito. When these mosquiotoes bite a humna, the sprorozoites are introduced into his/her body. thereby initiating the disease in the host's body.

Who proved female Anopheles mosquito to be the vector of Plasmodium ?

Study carefully the following stages of life cycle of malarial parasite i.e., Plasmodium. Arrange these stages in the correct sequence and select the correct answer. 1. Sporozoites leave the blood stream and enter the liver cells of man. 2. Sporozoites present in the salivary glands of female Anopheles mosquito are injected into the blood stream of man. 3. The parasite reproduces asexually in RBCs, resulting in bursting of RBCs and causing the cycles of fever, relased parasites infect new RBCs. 4. The parasite reproduces asexually in liver cells, ultimately causing the rupturing of cells. 5. Two types of gametocytes i.e., microgametocytes and macrogametocytes develop in the RBCs. 6. Female Anopheleles mosquito takes up the gametocytes with blood meal of an infected person. 7. Mature infective stage of the parasite i.e., sporozoites escape from intestine and migrate to the mosquito's salivary glands. 8. Fertilisation and developmental stages of the parasite take place in mosquito's stomach.
