Mosquitoes develop from Larvae to susceptible adults (Suc Mos). They become infected, but not infectious (Lat Mos) after feeding on acutely infected (YI/AI) or chronically infected (YR/AR) birds. Once malaria parasites mature in a latent mosquito it becomes infectious (Inf Mos) to susceptible (YS/AS) birds. Temperature and rainfall affect the rates of mosquito development (Larvae→Sus Mos), malaria maturation (Lat Mos→Inf Mos), and infection.
