Hemozoin is a:

a. precursor of haemoglobin

b. the toxin released from Streptococcus infected cells

c. the toxin released from Plasmodium-infected cells

d. the toxin released from Haemophilus infected cells

Answers (1)

The answer is option (c) toxin released from Plasmodium-infected cells

Hemozoin is a byproduct produced during the breakdown of hemoglobin by the malaria parasite Plasmodium. When Plasmodium invades red blood cells, it digests hemoglobin to obtain nutrients, and the waste produced is hemozoin. This substance builds up in infected cells and is linked to the symptoms of malaria. Hemozoin is responsible for episodes of chills and fevers in a malaria patient.
