They have already tested these antibodies in parasite-infected blood, which was then fed to mosquitoes, and the results are promising. The number of parasites able to survive the mosquito\u2019s immune response reduced significantly &#8211; another example of the importance of continuous investment in research and innovation.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Understanding the malaria parasite\u2019s life cycle<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The malaria parasite enters the mosquito when it bites an infected human. Then, the parasite must infect its gut tissue and mature for several days, before infecting a human when the mosquito bites again.
