Solution
Schizogony is an asexual reproduction in which schizont is formed. From the human blood malarial pathogen?? sporozoites enter the liver cells, grow in size to become rounded schizonts called cryptozoites. The latter divide to form cryptomerozoites. The cryptomerozoites formed during preerythrocytic schizogony may enter the human RBC to start erythrocytic schizogony. While some of them enter new liver cells to repeat hepatic (liver) schizogony.
