Examples of merozoite
merozoite
The merozoite is a short-lived cell and undergoes cell death if it does not rapidly invade an erythrocyte.

Distinct protein classes including novel merozoite surface antigens in raft-like membranes of Plasmodium falciparum.

Antigenic polymorphism and naturally acquired antibodies to Plasmodium vivax merozoite surface protein 1 in rural Amazonians.

Numerous studies have been performed on human antibody responses to P. falciparum merozoite antigens, but they have given conflicting results.

But the immune system would have a limited time to work before the parasite changes into the next stage, the merozoite, which enters red blood cells.

This study confirms that merozoite antigens are important targets of protective immunity in people and identifies specific antigens that could be prioritized for vaccine development.
From the sciencedaily.com
The reason for parasite preference for the later stages of the erythroblast population might be due to the expression of receptor molecules on their surface ligated to merozoite molecules.

- A cell that arises from the asexual division of a parent sporozoan during its life cycle
- Unusual for a major group of organisms, the apicomplexans are as yet identified as exclusively parasitic. As intracellular parasites, they are exposed to a wide variety of environments during their often complex lifecycles. ...
- (Merozoites) Parasites released into the host bloodstream when a hepatic or erythrocytic schizont bursts. These then invade the red blood cells.
- A daughter cell formed by asexual development in the life cycle of malaria parasites. Liver-stage and blood-stage malaria parasites develop into schizonts which contain many merozoites. When the schizonts are mature, they (and their host cells! ...
- The form of the malaria parasite that invades human red blood cells; one of the organisms formed by multiple fission of a sporozoite within the body of the host during the asexual phase of reproduction of a malarial plasmodia and other sporozoa.
- A cell formed by asexual reproduction in the life cycle of plasmodium. Merozoites disperse and infect additional red blood cells within the host.
- Product of schizogonic cycle in malaria; produced in the liver (preerythrocytic cycle) and in the red blood cells (erythrocytic cycle).
- MAIR-oh-ZOH-ite/ In the life cycle of certain protozoan parasites, a stage produced by merogony.
- A daughter cell resulting from schizogony. Photo
