Card 7 / 17:
How does killing Anopheles mosquitoes affect the Plasmodium protists?
Plasmodium parasites infect humans and cause malaria. However, they must complete part of their life cycle within Anopheles mosquitoes, and they can only be transmitted to humans via the bite wound of a mosquito. If the mosquito population were decreased, then fewer Plasmodium would be able to develop and be transmitted to humans, thereby reducing the incidence of human infections with this parasite.
