Gametogony
Gametogony occurs when a few merozoites develop into the sexual form of the parasite known as gametocytes. This may occur after the erythrocytic phase has been occurring for a considerable length of time.
Once gametocytes are formed then the patient is infective. Only the mature forms of the gametocytes are found in the peripheral blood.
