This mosquito feeds on blood and is the carrier of many diseases, such as malaria, dengue fever, yellow fever, and others. Mosquitoes lay their eggs in still or stagnant water. The eggs hatch into a carnivorous larval stage before developing into flying mosquitoes. These are mosquito pupa. This is another stage in the development of the mosquito.
Malarial parasites are visible within the red blood cells.
They are stained a dark bluish color. Malaria is a disease caused by parasites. Jaundice results when bilirubin, a yellowish pigment, builds up to high levels in the blood stream. The liver and biliary system are responsible for ridding the body of bilirubin. Jaundice usually indicates liver disease or obstruction of the biliary system.
