| Abstract: | Exflagellation of microgametocytes in malarial parasites is associated with the life cycle in the mosquito. However, it is not found with the usual developmental phases in humans. This report describes two case reports where exflagellation of microgametocytes was observed in vitro in patients documented to have Plasmodium vivax malaria. |
