Of the thousands of mosquito types, only the genus anopheles transmits malaria to humans. |
Among a dozen mosquito types in Milan, experts are keeping a close eye out for the anopheles mosquito which is capable of transmitting malaria. |
Malaria is a mosquito-borne disease caused by Plasmodium, a parasite transmitted through the bite of a female anopheles mosquito, leading to fever, pain and sweating. |
The other division of malaria-hunters pursued the trail of the anopheles to her lair. |
Usually it can be definitely shown that no anopheles occur there. |
It should be remembered that the anopheles can fly only about a hundred or two hundred yards. |
