The pre-erythrocytic cycle in Plasmodium occurs in the liver cells (hepatocytes) of the human host. After an infected Anopheles mosquito bites a human and injects sporozoites, these parasites travel to the liver and invade the hepatocytes, where they undergo asexual reproduction (schizogony) to develop into merozoites before invading red blood cells.
The pre-erythrocytic cycle in Plasmodium occurs in _____?
