Abstract
  • This study describes and quantifies some microprocesses of malaria transmission including blood vessel location by Anopheles stephensi and sporozoites delivery of An. stephensi infected by Plasmodium berghei. The study models the effects of malaria parasite-induced changes in probing behavior and mosquito mortality on disease transmisson. Finally, host, vector, and parasitological aspects of malaria optimal control are explored, concluding that classical entomological parameters are insufficient; this unexpected conclusion may lead to revisions of control strategies.
