In malarial infections the sexually mature parasite is found in which host?
The sexually mature parasite in a malarial infection is found in the Anopheles mosquito host. When a mosquito bites an infected human and ingests the sexual stage of the parasite (gametocytes), they mature and reproduce in the mosquito's gut, leading to the transmission of the infection.
Which test is used to detect malaria?

What was the first drug which worked wonders against the Malarial Parasite?
oxytocin
What is the action of quinine on malarial parasite?
Quinine acts on the malarial parasite primarily by inhibiting its ability to metabolize and detoxify heme, a byproduct of hemoglobin digestion. This leads to the accumulation of toxic heme, which ultimately disrupts the parasite's cellular processes and promotes its death. Quinine also interferes with the parasite's ability to reproduce within red blood cells, contributing to its effectiveness as an antimalarial treatment.
If a malarial parasite lives in human blood what would the parasite's contents be in relation to the blood?
okay I hope this is what you were looking for. 1. the mosquito picks up a parasite (malarial) from a infected person. 2. When the mosquito bites the new person, it transfers the malarial into the new persons blood stream. 3. The parasite develops in the liver releases microorganisms into the blood stream. 4. Malaria microorganisms infect red blood cells. which causes the cells to break apart.
Distinguish between the pre-erythrocytic and erythrocytic stages in the life cycle of the malarial parasite?
