SPOROGENESIS:
The mode of
asexual reproduction, common in
parasites, which involves the production of multiple spores or
swarmers (dinospores,
gymnospores,
infective cells). There are two types of sporogenesis:
palisporogenesis, in which feeding and sporogenesis occur simultaneously; and
palintomy, in which sporogenesis occurs following, and not simultaneously to, feeding. Refer to Text-Figure 7.
