Life cycle of Plasmodium falciparum (a-g) projected onto a sketch drawn by the German Renaissance painter Albrecht Dürer (1471-1528). This sketch was drawn by Dürer for his doctor pointing to the site of nagging pain, presumably due to splenomegaly. Dürer supposedly contracted malaria on a trip to The Netherlands, never recovered completely and died of it 13 years later.
