Figure 138. Diagram of the life cycle of Plasmodium vivax, parasitic in Anopheles 

 and in the red cells of man. For convenience, the asexual reproductions of the sporoblast 

 are figured in the sexual cycle, since they are preparatory to the repeated multiple fissions 

 of the asexual cycle in man. By analogy with Eimeria, maturation is post-zygotic and 

 both sexual and asexual phases are haploid except for the zygote. There is possibly an 

 asexual reproduction. (Modified from Schaudinn, 1902.)
