sporozites
3 Sporozites asexually reproduce in liver cells.
merozoite
4 Offspring (merozoites) enter blood, invade red blood cells, reproduce asexually. They can do so often, over a prolonged period. Disease symptoms (fever, chills, shaking) get more and more severe.
5 Some of the merozoites enter liver, cause more malaria episodes.
6 Others develop into male, female gametocytes, that are released into bloodstream.
male gametocyte in red blood cell
sporozoite
2 Mosquito bites human, bloodstream carries sporozoites to liver.
1 In the gut of a female mosquito carrying the malarial parasite Plasmodium, zygotes of the parasite develop into sporozoites, which migrate to her salivary gland.
7 Female mosquito bites, sucks blood from infected human. Gametocytes in blood enter her gut, mature into gametes which fuse to form zygotes.

• The tick feeds on small rodents, deer and man.
• In 1991, Michigan reported 46 cases of Lyme Disease, based on the new case definition. Michigan has reported 542 Lyme disease cases from 1982 to 2000 (only one case was reported in 1999, and none in 2000)

Mosquitoes (Family Culicidae)
Several species of mosquitoes bite man and animals in Michigan. Some species develop in pools while others develop in ponds and marshes. Occur during the spring and summer in Michigan.

Until the discovery of Lyme disease and the deer tick, lxodes scapularis (formerly dammini), in Michigan, the American dog tick (Dermacentor variabilis) was the most pestiferous tick in Michigan. Both of these ticks are more abundant in the Upper Peninsula.
