Arrange the given organs in correct sequence which are involved in life cycle of Plasmodium.
(A) Gut of mosquito
(B) Salivary gland of mosquito
(C) Liver of man
(D) Blood of man
Choose the correct answer from the options given below.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The correct answer is Option (4) → (B), (C), (D), (A)
(B) Salivary gland of mosquito — first. The infectious Plasmodium stages (sporozoites) enter the human body when an infected female Anopheles bites.
(C) Liver of man — second. The parasites multiply first in the liver cells.
(D) Blood of man — third. They then attack the red blood cells, multiply there and make them burst, causing the cycles of fever.
(A) Gut of mosquito — last. A mosquito biting an infected person takes up the gametocytes; fertilisation takes place in its gut, and the new sporozoites move to its salivary glands.
