"Malaria in Context" is an zoomable, annotated illustration that you can navigate to explore the malaria lifecycle in one snapshot of its environmental context. You can turn the annotations on and off as you explore the image. There is also an audio voiceover you can play as you explore the graphic on your own.

Please note that the graphic below is very large and can sometimes take some time to load. (This is also something to keep in mind if you pay for Internet access by amount of data used.)

Image above: Illustration of the malaria lifecycle in the parasite and human set in the context of its environment.

Child's room with a boy standing in front of a bed covered with a long-lasting insecticide-treated net (LLIN). On his bedside table sits a packet of antimalarial drugs. Several mosquitos, alive and dead, are visible around the room. Outside the window are fields and other potential mosquito habitats with several people, including a community health worker, working and talking. On the wall of the room is a depiction of the malaria parasite lifecycle in the mosquito vector and in the human host.
