The protozoan parasite
Plasmodium falciparum is the causal agent of human malaria. This parasite has a very complex lifecycle, involving vertebrate and invertebrate hosts. Infective forms (sporozoites) are transmitted to the human host during the mosquito
Anopheles' blood meal. Malaria is a devastating parasitic disease; it infects 300

Malaria represents one of the most important public health problems worldwide. The parasite has developed resistance to anti-malarials and the mosquito hosts have developed resistance to insecticides.
