Information about Malaria causing Mosquito Anopheles species

Pupa stage

This stage is the resting or quiescent stage and it does not take any food.
The pupa is comma shaped .
The pupa stage is very sensitive to movement and moves away from the source of disturbance.

Adult stage

The outer skin of the pupa breaks and the mosquito emerges from it.
It takes ten to twelve days for completing the life cycle from egg stage to adult stage.

Thanks for write-pus. Its very informative. You only talked about the treatment of malaria, but what about the treatment/avoidance of the Malaria Relapses, which is very important?
