Across
  1. 6. the sexual cell of Apicomplexa; the female (macrogametocyte)and male (microgametocyte)that develop into gametes
  2. 7. parasite at the edge of the red blood cell
  3. 9. infective form of a protozoan; characterized by the formation of a thick protective wall that is resistant to environmental factors
  4. 10. individual in which a parasite has its adult and or sexual reproductive stage
  5. 11. spherical chromatin mass within the nucleus of protozoa
  6. 13. first larval stage of most tapeworms found within the egg, characterized by the presence of six hooklets
  7. 16. syndrome associated with Plasmodium falciparum infection characterized by reddish to black urine resulting from hemoglobinuria
  8. 19. coarse granulations present in red blood cells invaded by the falciparum malaria parasite
  9. 20. larval form of filarial worms
  10. 21. part of the life cycle of malaria that begins when the sporozoites are injected into humans from the mosquito
Down
  1. 1. larval stage infective for the definitive host
  2. 2. larval stage of Taenia spp; fluid-filled sac that contains the scolex of the tapeworm
  3. 3. structure found in some blood and tissue protozoans composed of the granule from which the flagellum or undulating membrane arises, and a mitochondrion
  4. 4. tailed stage in the life cycle of flukes that is produced from rediae that develop in snail tissue; this stage is released into the water
  5. 5. parasitic form produced during schizogony; in malaria, these structures are released from a ruptured erythrocyte and invade other erythrocytes at the end of an asexual reproductive cycle
  6. 8. for most flukes, this is the life cycle stage infective for humans
  7. 12. RNA that has been condensed into a barlike structure within the cyst of some protozoan organisms
  8. 14. part of the life cycle of malaria occurring within red blood cells
  9. 15. individual in which a parasite has its larval and or asexual reproductive stage
  10. 17. obligate intracellular form; protist life cycle stage found in humans that is characteristic of blood and tissue flagellates
  11. 18. Toxoplasma gondii life cycle stage that forms within a cystlike structure
