Parasite and
Vector
The female Anopheles mosquito carries the plasmodium parasite that
causes malaria. Details about the mosquito’s breeding and feeding
habits as well as its physiology are very important to malaria
control as they give us windows into possible vector control methods.
Below is a link to a detailed PowerPoint presentation on mosquito
entomology prepared by Dr. Michael Macdonald of the NMCC.
