Mice with 0.2-15% parasitemia, 0.01-1.5% gametocytemia, and 0.001-0.5% exflagellations were used as infective hosts. Oocyst numbers ranged from 2 to 171 (mean 44) on the midgut 8-16 d after the blood meal. Several to hundreds of sporozoites were detected in the salivary glands 14 d after feeding. The mosquitoes were infective to mice from 13 to 40 d after feeding. An. omorii occurs naturally at temperatures less than 25 degrees C and therefore is a suitable laboratory vector for the cyclic transmission of P. berghei, a malaria parasite that completes sporogony at 18-21 degrees C. ## Keywords - Biology - Parasitemia - Plasmodium berghei - Midgut - Anopheles - Blood meal - Malaria - Gametocyte - Parasite hosting - Plasmodium (life cycle) - Vector (molecular biology) - Virology - Plasmodium falciparum - Zoology - Larva - Immunology - Botany - Genetics - Recombinant DNA - Computer science - World Wide Web - Gene --- Sumber: Discover Unhas — RIMS Universitas Hasanuddin.
