INSEKT MUECKE MALARIA
[Stockbild] Close-up of an Anopheles gambiae female mosquito biting into human skin, taking a blood meal. Anopheles mosquitoes transmit malaria. The parasite responsible for malaria is carried in the female mosquito's saliva. Female mosquitoes have a long proboscis adapted for piercing human skin to suck blood. Here, the abdomen of the mosquito appears red due to ingested blood. Anopheles mosquitoes have long legs and assume a characteristic posture during feeding. The hind legs are not anchored to the victim's skin and the head is held at an angel. Malaria is a major helth problem and a killer disease in Africa, Asia and South America.
