If plamodium causes malaria, which part of the life cycle takes place in the mosquito host?


Rate This Answer

The sporozoites are injected into the skin, alongside saliva, when the mosquito takes a subsequent blood meal. Only female mosquitoes feed on blood while male mosquitoes feed on plant nectar, so males do not transmit the disease. ChaCha on!
