Summary
| Description |
English: Crouched down on her forelegs, this image depicts an anterior-oblique view of a feeding female Anopheles arabiensis mosquito. This specimen had landed on a human skin surface, and was in the process of obtaining its blood meal through its sharp, needle-like labrum, which it had inserted into its human host. If you look closely, you'll note the red color of the thin labrum, as it was filled with blood, and the bright-red abdomen, enlarged due to its blood meal contents.A. arabiensis is a known vector for the parasitic disease malaria. |
