About this work
Description
A detailed cinematographic record of the classic laboratory technique for dissecting a mosquito to detect malaria parasites. Describes the oocyst and sporozoite phases of the life-cycle of the malaria parasite within the mosquito before demonstrating how the mosquito's salivary glands are pressed out and prepared for examination so that sporozoites can be identified, and the way in which the stomach is removed and the oocysts are detected.
