Poster Prints from Science Photo Library
Anopheles mosquito
Anopheles mosquito. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of an Anopheles stephensi mosquito, the vector for the malaria parasite in Asia. The mosquito flies in search of a human or other animal from which it can suck blood. It lands gently on long, slender legs. The insects head comprises two compound eyes (pink), two antennae (blue) and complex mouthparts. The proboscis (centre), contains the piercing and sucking instruments necessary to obtain a blood meal. In 2002, scientists created genetically- modified A. stephensi mosquitoes, in which the malaria parasite was unable to multiply, raising hopes that transmission of malaria can be stopped

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of an Anopheles mosquito, specifically an Anopheles stephensi species. Coloured with vibrant details through scanning electron micrograph (SEM), it provides a close-up view of this notorious malaria vector in Asia. The image captures the moment when the mosquito gracefully lands on its long and slender legs, ready to seek out a human or animal host from which it can extract blood. The head of this tiny insect is adorned with two compound eyes, displaying a mesmerizing pink hue. Its delicate blue antennae add to its allure while serving as sensory organs for navigation and detection. The complex mouthparts are prominently displayed at the center, housing the piercing and sucking instruments necessary for obtaining a blood meal. In 2002, scientists achieved a groundbreaking feat by genetically modifying A. stephensi mosquitoes to render them incapable of multiplying the malaria parasite within their bodies. This breakthrough raised hopes that transmission of malaria could be halted altogether—an inspiring prospect in our battle against this devastating disease. This remarkable photograph not only highlights the natural wonders found within our world but also serves as a reminder of humanity's relentless pursuit to combat infectious diseases like malaria through scientific innovation and understanding.
