| gametocyte |
the sexual reproductive stage of the malaria parasite. Gametocytes [macro- and micro-gametocytes] circulate in the blood stream, are picked up by the Anopheles mosquito, undergo sexual reproduction in the midgut of the mosquito, and attaches to the mosquito's midgut, where they form an oocyst that eventually produces sporozoites.
