Within 36 to 48 hours, merozoites are released into the bloodstream and transported to macrophages in the brain, liver, spleen, kidney, and lung. Subsequently, the parasites commence asexual reproduction, generating copies of themselves. The new generations of merozoites infect red blood cells, where they grow, reproduce, and eventually cause the cells to burst open.
Merozoites are released into the bloodstream within 36 to 48 hours and are transported to various organs, including the brain, liver, spleen, kidney, and lung. The parasites then begin a reproductive cycle, producing new copies of themselves. These merozoites infect red blood cells, where they grow, multiply, and ultimately lead to cell rupture.
