Question
My question is this that how plasmodium enters into the body of mosquito?please answer as soon as possible.I would really appreciate your answer.
The mosquito ingests reproductive cells (Gametocytes) from the blood of an infected person. The gametocytes form an oocyte in the gut of the mosquito. Sporozoites arise from the oocyte and enter the salivary gland on the mosquito. When the mosquito bites another person the cycle is completed
