Question

Describe the events in the life cycle of Plasmodium which take place in the female Anopheles.

Answer 1

When a female Anopheles mosquito bites an infected person, these parasites enter the mosquito’s body and undergo further development. The parasites multiply within them to form sporozoites that are stored in their salivary glands. When these mosquitoes bite a human, the sporozoites are introduced into his/ her body.
