The mosquito injects its saliva containing parasite into the bloodstream. These parasites travel then travel to the liver where they develop, multiply, and rupture. They go back to circulation and enter the red blood cells eventually attacking and destroying them. The parasites in the red blood cell do not go back to the bloodstream. Instead, they block the small blood vessels in the brain and lungs that may cause the patient to go into coma and eventually, death.
