The study of the vector-agent model (Anopheles sacharovi-Plasmodium gallinaceum) has shown that the development of ovaries of the vector stimulates its receptivity to the malaria agent. In the case of braking of follicle development the mosquitos were nearly not infected. The capability of mosquitos to be infected without previous carbohydrate feed is confirmed. The influences of the age of mosquitos and the quantity of blood soaked up on the egg development and on the receptivity to malaria agent are demonstrated.
