Plasmodium undergoes multiple fission for reproduction.and leishmania reproduces with binary fission. in plasmodium a single individual is divided into many daughter cells. in leishmania a single celled organism is divided into two daughter cells.
Parasitic protozoa of the genus Leishmania (Kinetoplastida: Trypanosomatidae) are generally thought to multiply by binary fission; however, data from quantitative microspectrophotometry indicate that nuclear fusion or sexual reproduction takes place in the intracellular amastigote form.
