This amazing animation, developed with support from the Howard Hughes Medical Institute, shows exactly what happens when a malaria-carrying mosquito bites a human host. The parasite enters the bloodstream, multiplies in the liver cells, and is then released back into the bloodstream, where it infects and destroys red blood cells.
ok that was creepy O.o

Awesome. Misses out some important parts of the cycle, though - how does the malaria parasite get back into mosquitos? Dosn't it eventually block the gut of the mosquito causing it to try and feed more?
