| Schizonts formation involves successive cycles of asexual division that eventually result in the formation of multiple separate "merozoite" forms. Those merozoites are released as the red cell breaks down then go on to infect another red cell. Schizonts therefre look very different depending on which stage of development they represent. Below are images of schizonts at different developmental stages.

| The first recognisable stage occurs when the schizonts first divide their chromatin to form two distinct masses. This first stage is the least distinctive and can be difficult to distinguish from a late trophozoite or gametocyte with a double chromatin dot. But often the appearance is clear.
