Red blood cells infected with asexual stage parasites in Giemsa-stained thin blood films from patients with Plasmodium knowlesi malaria: (a) early trophozoite (ring stage); (b) trophozoite with increased blue-stained cytoplasm and diffuse hemozoin pigment grains (yellowish areas at the periphery of the cytoplasm); (c) schizont containing ten merozoites, daughter parasites, with clumped pigment present (densely stained body); and (d) schizont undergoing egress to release merozoites to infect new red blood cells. The complete erythrocytic cycle from merozoite invasion of a target red blood cell to schizont rupture in P. knowlesi takes 24 h.
