Life cycle of the anopheles mosquito parasite?

An infected female anopheles mosquito injects the parasite into a human. Once in the human, the parasite infects the liver and ruptures and multiplies, eventually infecting red blood cells. Once in the red blood cells, they rupture and multiply again. This stage is when disease manifests itself. At this point, once a mosquito lands on the human and drinks the blood, the parasites repopulate in the mosquito and the cycle begins again.

In the life cycle of the mosquito at what stage they can easily terminated?

When the female mosquito pricks the skin and sucks up some blood a parasite enters the body and grows within the red blood cells. This is the Malaria parasite and it is this disease that needs to be tackled not necessarily the anopheles mosquito itself. Break the parasite cycle from the host and malaria will disappear. One avenue of research is to kill the parasite in the infected body or render the mosquito infertile by releasing infertile males into their breeding areas. It is extremely difficult to do other wise it would have been achieved already.


What is malaria and how do you get it?

Malaria is an infectious disease caused by a parasite (of the genus Plasmodium) and spread mostly by a particular mosquito (Anopheles). The saliva from the bite of the infected female mosquito infects the blood which carries the parasite to the liver where it matures. The disease is common in tropical areas of Asia, Africa, and the Americas since these have a favorable environment for the mosquito; mortality rates in severe cases are about one in five. Estimated deaths approximate a million a year, most of which are children. The disease is preventable and treatable through medication; preventative measures include mosquito control techniques.
