Biology.
- : the multiple fission of a trophozoite or schizont into merozoites.
Examples
When fully grown, the trophozoite (now a schizont) undergoes schizogony.
On the one hand, schizogony may be so limited in extent as not to cause appreciable injury to the host.
An interesting point in the schizogony is the formation of schizontocytes (see above).
The fever produced is of an irregular type and the period of schizogony has not been definitely determined.
The trophozoite is now large and full-grown, and has become rounded and ready for schizogony.
