Motile zygote of Plasmodium occurs in: A Gut of female Anopheles B Salivary glands of Anopheles C Human RBCs D Human liver
Option A. Malaria is a mosquito-borne infectious disease affecting humans and other animals caused by Plasmodium species. In the female Anopheles mosquito, gametocytes are taken up with the blood and mature in the mosquito gut. The male and female gametocytes fuse and form an ookinete—a fertilized, motile zygote. Ookinetes develop into new sporozoites that migrate to the insect's salivary glands, ready to infect a new vertebrate host. So, the correct answer is 'Gut of female Anopheles'.
