Abstract
The human malaria parasite life cycle appears deceptively simple because it involves only one species of vertebrate host (humans) and anopheline mosquitoes to transmit the pathogen. However, a number of host, vector, and pathogen factors have evolved that interact with ecological and logistic considerations to determine whether transmission of the parasite from a mosquito to a human, or the converse, will successfully occur.
