Explanation

Malaria fever coincides with the liberation of merozoites. Cryptomerozoites: Cryptomerozoites are dormant forms of the malaria parasite that reside in the liver cells of infected individuals. They can remain dormant for months or years before becoming active and causing infection. Metacryptomerozoites: Metacryptomerozoites are immature forms of the malaria parasite that develop from cryptomerozoites. They are released from the liver cells and invade red blood cells. Merozoites: Merozoites are actively dividing forms of the malaria parasite that reside in red blood cells. They multiply and eventually rupture the red blood cells, releasing new merozoites into the bloodstream. Trophozoites: Trophozoites are the feeding forms of the malaria parasite. They reside in red blood cells and consume the hemoglobin inside the cells.
