Examples of sporozoite
sporozoite
Instead, the sporozoite is intended to stimulate the body's immune response, creating immunity to malaria.

The cycle begins when infected mosquitoes bite humans, injecting them with a form of the parasite called a sporozoite.
From the orlandosentinel.com
The sporozoite is carried in the salivary glands of a mosquito, where it infects a human through the mosquito's bite.

The virus part stimulates the immune system, while the pathogen part primes the immune system to attack the sporozoite.

Vaccinating against the first stage, the sporozoite, which enters the blood from the mosquito, might prevent infection entirely.
From the newscientist.com
Protection might be better if the sporozoite vaccine can be combined with one against merozoites, thus hitting the parasite twice.
From the newscientist.com
The Cochrane Collaboration, an organisation that reviews clinical trials, has looked at recent experiments with four leading candidates for a sporozoite vaccine.
From the newscientist.com
The sporozoite form is injected by a mosquito into a human, where it travels to the liver, invades a hepatocyte and undergoes development into an exoerythrocytic schizont, which yields merozoites.

The protein they chose, called CSP, covers the surface of the malaria sporozoite and is thought to be the main reason that this form of the parasite stimulates the immune system so effectively.

- One of the minute active bodies into which sporozoans divide in one stage of their 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. ...
- (Sporozoites) Motile malaria parasites that are infective to humans, inoculated by a feeding female anopheline mosquito. The sporozoites invade hepatocytes.
- A stage in the life cycle of the malaria parasite. Sporozoites are produced in the mosquito and migrate to the mosquito's salivary glands. They can be inoculated into a human host when the mosquito takes a blood meal on the human. ...
- The infectious form of the malaria parasite, which is injected into people by a feeding mosquito; a spore formed after fertilization; any of the elongated, nucleated cells by division of the encysted zygote of a sporozoon, which undergo multiple fission to give rise to merozoites.
- A tiny infectious cell that represents a stage in the apicomplexan life cycle.
- The infective unit of the coccidia contained within the sporocysts of the sporulated oocyst. There are always 8 sporozoites per oocysts - i.e. 2 or 4 per sporocyst depending on the number of sporocysts.
