Which stage of a malarial parasite escapes digestion in stomach of mosquito?

AGametocytes
Correct Answer
BTrophozoite
CMerozoites
DSporozoites

Solution

Malarial parasite completes its life cycle in two stages sexual in mosquito and asexual in humans. When mosquito bite they inject the parasite into the human tissues. In merozoite stage, they flooded into the bloodstream and lysed the RBCs and develops into the trophozoites. These trophozoites produce gametocytes in the bloodstream. When again mosquito bite they enter into the mosquito stomach through blood where they fertilize to form a zygote. Thus, the correct answer is option A.
