Mmesomachi Okoh - Could this be an end to an Era of a metamorphosis: A look into the female Anopheles' mosquito and its unicellular protozoan.
My name is Mmesomachi Okoh, this is my last semester (capstone) at DSC Quanta Honours. i would be graduating this spring from Daytona State College and be transferring to Stetson University a
Malaria is caused by a plasmodium - and this parasite is developed in a blood- feeding insect (as a primary host), more like a vector called the Female Anopheles Mosquito. When this parasite gets into the mosquito, then this mosquito follows a circle or chain of transmission, by feeding on the blood of a vertebrate, presumably a human. At this stage, the parasite has been released into the human's bloodstream which grants it an easy access to the other parts and organs of the body, and begins to infect the red blood cells (imitating its shape and form).
