Plasmodium (Life cycle) (Product Code: SCL482/0207) is a laminated wall chart used to teach the life cycle of Plasmodium, the single-celled parasite that causes malaria, in school and college biology and health-education classes. Its cycle runs through two very different hosts — the female Anopheles mosquito and a human — so the 75 x 100 cm polyart chart helps students keep the named stages in order. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India.

The lesson usually starts with the mosquito bite: sporozoites injected with the mosquito’s saliva travel to the liver, multiply inside liver cells and are released as merozoites that invade red blood cells. Inside the red cells the parasite grows and divides again; when large numbers of infected cells burst together, the released toxins bring on the chills and fever typical of malaria. Some parasites develop instead into gametocytes, which are taken up when another mosquito feeds. Fertilisation takes place in the mosquito’s gut, and the resulting stages finally produce new sporozoites that collect in its salivary glands.
Teachers use the chart to ask why the mosquito is called the definitive host and the human the intermediate host, and where in the cycle bed nets, removing stagnant water and medicines each act. Paired with a stained human blood smear viewed under a high-power microscope, it shows students the normal red blood cells the parasite targets, which makes it a natural part of a biology lab setup for school or college health-education teaching.
ScienceLab is the trading name of Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, an OEM (original equipment manufacturer) that produces the Plasmodium (Life cycle) chart at its own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India. Schools, colleges, institutions, dealers and importers get the chart factory-direct, and a request for a replacement copy or a matching life-cycle series goes to the manufacturer rather than a trader.

Why is the mosquito the definitive host in the Plasmodium (Life cycle) chart?
In the cycle covered by the Plasmodium (Life cycle) chart, the mosquito is the definitive host because sexual reproduction of the parasite happens inside it. The human, where only asexual multiplication takes place, is the intermediate host — a distinction most biology syllabuses examine.
Why do malaria fevers come and go, as explained with the Plasmodium (Life cycle) chart?
Malaria fevers recur because infected red blood cells tend to burst at about the same time, releasing new merozoites and toxins together. Teachers use the Plasmodium (Life cycle) chart to link each bout of fever to this repeated cycle inside the blood.
Is the Plasmodium (Life cycle) chart useful for nursing or public-health training?
Yes, as a general reference. The Plasmodium (Life cycle) chart supports teaching of the life cycle and the prevention points — bed nets, removing stagnant water and treatment — but advanced courses should use it alongside slides and course notes.
What format is the Plasmodium (Life cycle) chart?
The Plasmodium (Life cycle) chart is a single laminated polyart sheet measuring 75 x 100 cm, made for wall display in classrooms and laboratories. It can be wiped with a soft cloth and should be stored rolled, not folded, when not in use.
Who manufactures the Plasmodium (Life cycle) chart?
The Plasmodium (Life cycle) chart is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), the OEM, at its own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India. Quotations for code SCL482/0207, repeat orders and replacement copies are handled by the manufacturer itself.
Is the Plasmodium (Life cycle) chart sold as part of a series?
The Plasmodium (Life cycle) chart belongs to a range of life-cycle charts that includes the silkworm and Entamoeba titles. Each chart is ordered separately, but several titles can be combined in one quotation from the manufacturer.
What do you need to prepare a Plasmodium (Life cycle) chart quotation?
To quote for the Plasmodium (Life cycle) chart, we need the chart titles, the number of copies and the delivery location in India or abroad. Send them through the contact page or the enquiry cart, and the manufacturer will reply with a quotation.
