The video above captures the moment when a malaria parasite invades a human red blood cell - the first time the event has been caught in high resolution.

The Plasmodium parasite responsible for malaria is transmitted by the bite of infected mosquitoes, and is thought to kill almost 1 million people worldwide each year.

  • @slipperywhenwet5 arminianism & calvinism. you quote them as to be the same.

  • Poor little guy :(

  • @05u16hep Science is about knowledge. If people are deceiving you, they're not scientists. If people are trying to find out the truth, they're scientists. That's what the word means. The good thing about science is that you are encouraged to do the same experiments and research and if you find different results you are allowed to discuss them. 'irrelevant facts'? Facts aren't irrelevant. Fact means true. Scientists assume things based on real data and they work on it before concluding.

  • WOW FINALLY A DAMN REAL VIDEO OF THIS

  • Science videos seem to attract a lot of comments from the faith community. Why is that?

  • That blood cell dun got raped.

  • i hate you fuking atheists or w.e u call urself..........god may not be real but it gives people hopes and dreams which causes them to live with a goal in mind and thus enjoy their life. And btw not all religions have gods, theres some out there that are simply people who have started a religion and are also known as gurus. Please do not discourage people by telling them god doesn't exist, your being an ass hole..

  • @05u16hep I see you typing there on your computer, created by modern science. Let me guess, its powered by deception? You're a joke.

  • Sir Isaac Newton was deeply religious. Was he dumb?
