Abstract
The transmission of malaria is governed by the mosquito vector's biting rat e, its mortality, and the developmental period of the parasite within the m osquito. This review covers some data on the interactions among these param eters and describes possible evolutionary mechanisms underlying two aspects of the parasite's life cycle. (C) Elsevier, Paris.
