Sporozoites

Description:

Sporozoites are a stage in the life cycle of certain parasites, specifically sporozoans. They are typically found in the mosquito's salivary glands and are transmitted into the bloodstream of the host during a bite. These infective cells are vital for the parasite's propagation and invasion into host cells.

Sample Sentences:

• The sporozoites of the malaria parasite infect the liver cells of the human host.
• When a mosquito bites a person, it injects sporozoites into the bloodstream.
• The transmission of sporozoites from the mosquito to the vertebrate host is a crucial step in the life cycle of many parasites.
