Gametogeny is the process where gametes are formed, which is the first step in the sexual stage of the apicomplexan life cycle. During gametogeny, male and female gametes are formed, which eventually unite to form a zygote, leading to the production of sporozoites. Exogeny refers to the release of mature parasites into the host's bloodstream or body cavity, schizogeny is the process of multiple fission, endogeny is not a known term in the context of apicomplexans, and sporogeny is the process of forming sporozoites from the zygote.
