The next step is '''Schizogony'''.  This is an asexual process which occurs endogenously.  After the sporozoites invade the epithelia, they then form trophozoites.  These trophozoites then form merozoites, which is known as merogony.

Gametogony then occurs, which is sexual division occurs endogenously, namely the intestinal cells.

Gametogony then occurs, which is sexual division occurs endogenously, namely the intestinal cells. Merozoites then form either microgamonts (male) or macrogamonts (female).  Invasion of macrogametocytes containing cells by microgametocytes leads to fertilization, and the cycle continues.
