Summary Introduction

To determine: The group of children averaged the fewest mosquitoes attracted.

Concept introduction: Plasmodium is one among the genus of unicellular eukaryotes that are obligate parasites of vertebrates and the insects. They infect the humans who are mostly prone to malarial infection. It is transmitted through the bite of a female Anopheles mosquito. The life cycle involves mosquito and humans as a host. During the blood meal, the malaria-infected mosquito inoculates the sporozoites into the human host. The sporozoite infects the liver cells and mature into schizonts that rupture and release the merozoites.
