English: This photomicrograph of a blood smear contains a macro- and microgametocyte of the Plasmodium falciparum parasite.
Both macro- and microgametocytes are products of the erythrocytic life cycle. Within a few minutes after the Anopheles sp. vector ingests the gametocytes, microgametocytes develop into microgametes, which are able to fertilize gametes.
