ARE MOSQUITOES THE PARASITES THAT FEED ON HUMAN BLOOD?

Abstract

The purpose of the given work was to establish the complexity of the host-parasite relationship which has often led to a misunderstanding of the precise nature of parasitism. We surveyed doctors and biologists - whether the mosquito Anopheles was a human parasite or not? and we got different answers to this question. Doctors focused on the fact that the mosquito Anopheles was only a vector and not a parasite, while biologists disagreed with this assumption.
