Sporozoites are not produced during the erythrocytic stage of the malarial life cycle. Sporozoites are produced during the mosquito-borne sporozoite stage and then infect human liver cells in the hepatic stage. In the erythrocytic stage, the parasite reproduces asexually via schizogony, producing merozoites, which then infect red blood cells. The parasites are protected from the host's immune response by modifying the surface of the infected erythrocytes, and they also reproduce sexually, producing microgametocytes and macrogametocytes, which eventually merge to form a zygote that develops into a new sporozoite.
