SYNOPSIS. The transformation of the P. cynomolgi oocyst into definitive sporozoite forms occurs 8–10 days after an infective blood meal by Anopheles, stephensi mosquitoes. Vacuolization divides the oocyst cytoplasm into sporoblast sub‐units from which sporozoites bud. The role of sporoblast nuclear and cytoplasmic components in the complex differentiative process is discussed.
