Mosquito bite facilitates entry of plasmodium (in the form of sporozoites) in the human blood. The gametocytes are large parasites which fill up the erythrocyte. Ingestion of gametocytes by the mosquito vector induces gametogenesis (i.e., the production of gametes) and escape from the host erythrocyte. Gametogenesis is the stage in the mosquito.
