Mosquito. Close-up of a mosquito, probably of the genus Anopheles sp. one of the mosquitoes respon- sible for transmitting malaria; the parasite that causes the disease is carried in the saliva of the female mosquito. Malaria is a major health problem in Africa, Asia, India & South America. Malaria causes a severe fever, & can lead to complications affecting the liver, brain & blood that can be fatal. Preventative measures against mosquitoes are increasingly important, as malaria parasites are developing resistance to anti-malarial drugs. These measures include using mosquito nets, wearing protective clothing, using insecticides & releasing of

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a close-up view of a malaria mosquito, belonging to the Anopheles genus. Known as one of the primary carriers of malaria, this female mosquito carries the disease-causing parasite in her saliva. Malaria poses a significant health threat in Africa, Asia, India, and South America. The disease manifests as severe fever and can lead to life-threatening complications affecting vital organs such as the liver, brain, and blood. In light of increasing resistance among malaria parasites towards anti-malarial drugs, preventative measures against mosquitoes have become crucial. This photograph serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of protecting oneself from these disease-carrying insects. Strategies like using mosquito nets while sleeping, wearing protective clothing to minimize exposed skin areas, employing insecticides for effective control measures are essential. The image also highlights how scientific research plays an integral role in understanding these intricate creatures and their impact on human health. By studying mosquitoes like this Anopheles species closely through zoological and entomological studies, scientists strive to develop innovative solutions that combat both the transmission of diseases like malaria and potential drug resistance. Science Photo Library presents this remarkable snapshot not only for its aesthetic value but also to raise awareness about the urgent need for proactive measures against malaria-transmitting mosquitoes worldwide.
