Abstract
⺠Development of a human malaria parasite is compared between two mosquito vector species. ⺠Ookinete formation within the midgut lumen is equivalent in both mosquito species. ⺠Plasmodium falciparum fails to produce oocyst infections in Anopheles albimanus. ⺠All ookinetes are destroyed within the midgut lumen of A. albimanus. ⺠Malaria parasite survival in all of the different midgut compartments is quantified.
