The appearance of gametocytes does vary according to species and this can aid morphological species identification with red cell appearances typical of the species, and (in the case of ''P.falciparum'' a distinctive straight or curved rod shape.</br></br>
+|<span style="font-size:90%">''Short answer taken from section "Re-infection of the mosquito" (see the section for full details and links).</br></br>''<span style="font-size:90%">When a mosquito feeds from a malaria infected host, the blood meal will contain parasites of all forms. Importantly these forms include male and female gametocytes. The pH and temperature changes with the mosquito midgut cause the gametocytes to gain full sexual maturity (gametogenesis). The male gametocyte then undergoes 3 cycles of division to generate 8 male sexual forms (gametes). These then 8 gametes then "break out" of the male microgametocytes in a process known as exflagellation, and fuse with the female oocyte (derived from the macrogametocyte). Then following successful fusion move to the next stage of development with the mosquito gut wall. Finally the parasite enter the salivary glands of the mosquito as sporozoites where a new infection can be initiated.</span>
-''' ''P.falciparum'' ''' In this species the gametocytes have a "rod" shape which may be constricted by the remaining red cell membrane to form a curved shape (often described as banana-shaped).</span>
