This photomicrograph of a blood smear contains a macro- and microgametocyte of the Plasmodium falciparum parasite. Both macro- and microgametocytes are products of the erythrocytic life cycle. Within a few minutes after the Anopheles sp. vector ingests the gametocytes, microgametocytes develop into microgametes, which are able to fertilize gametes.
This picture comes from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Public Health Image Library (PHIL), with identification number #2704.
