This infographic from the Tropeninstitut illustrates the malaria transmission cycle. It begins when an Anopheles mosquito bites a human and injects its sporozoites into the bloodstream. The sporozoites then travel to the liver where they mature and release merozoites back into the bloodstream. The m...erozoites then infect red blood cells, resulting in the clinical symptoms of malaria. Some merozoites develop into gametocytes, which can be ingested by another mosquito when it bites the infected person again, thus continuing the transmission cycle.
The infographic serves as an educational tool, helping to explain the complex life cycle of the malaria parasite and the role of mosquitoes in spreading the disease.
