The asexual process of spore formation in parasitic sporozoans.
〔动〕孢子发生，孢子生殖
Example sentencesExamples
The completion of the sporogony takes between 7 days to 8 weeks, depending on the parasite species, the nature of the vector and, more importantly, the environmental conditions, particularly temperature and relative humidity.
The enveloped sporogony is endogenous in spore sacs of sporont origin, daughter cells are formed by vacuolation.
Sporozoites, the product of sporogony, migrate to the salivary glands and are injected into the bloodstream when a mosquito bites a person.
In at least two, widely divergent systems, electron-dense extracellular tubules have been observed surrounding developing spores during sporogony.
Africa, as is widely known, is a generally hot continent, and so is particularly susceptible to more rapid sporogony.
