• Plasmodium development in the mosquito midgut
PBM: post-blood meal

how does Plasmodium falciparum evade spleen passage?
Plasmodium falciparum, the parasite that causes the most severe form of malaria, evades passage through the spleen by sequestering in small blood vessels. This allows the parasites to avoid being trapped in the spleen, which is responsible for filtering out altered red blood cells.
