| The plasmodia cells live in the stomach of the female Anopheles mosquito. |
| Malaria and similar diseases are caused by plasmodia, which are protozoa and not bacteria. |
| How was it that no one asked himself how it was possible that the plasmodia could enter the current of the blood from the air? |
| The most satisfactory studies are obtained by plasmodia carefully brought in directly from the field. |
| Myxozoans, in contrast, form plasmodia or hollow sacs in which infective spores are produced. |
| The project saved an estimated 15-25 million lives but foundered when, among other things, mosquitoes and plasmodia evolved resistance to their respective poisons. |
