trophozoites reproduce asexually - producing more merozoites
merozoites released into blood by rupture of RBCs & some merozoites enter sexual reproductive phase & become gametocytes (male & female sex cells)
mosquito takes blood meal takes gametocytes
most gametocytes mature & unite to form zygotes in lining of mosquito's stomach
zygotes pass through stomach wall produce sporozoites - make way to salivary glands
