1 Physical barriers
2 Physiological barriers
3 Cellular barriers
4 Cytokines barriers
Which of the following is mismatched with respect to the following events which occur in the life cycle?
| 1 Erythrocytic schizogony | : The rupture of RBCs is associated with the release of a toxic substance hemozoin, which is responsible for the chill and high fever |
