The document outlines the life cycle of malaria-causing protozoa, detailing three primary stages: infection with sporozoites, asexual reproduction in the liver and red blood cells, and sexual reproduction in the mosquito. Initially, sporozoites enter a human's liver, where they reproduce asexually, leading to merozoite release into the bloodstream, which then invade red blood cells to continue the cycle. Gametocytes develop in the bloodstream, which can be taken up by mosquitoes, enabling the continuation of the malaria cycle through sexual reproduction.
