Abstract
The following chapter is provided for readers unfamiliar with the basic biology of malaria transmission. It is information which can be found in elementary textbooks of biology and, it is hoped, will be of help to non-biologists in following the steps of Ross, and others, who were attempting to sift out the key points of the problem of transmission from the apparent chaos of nature.
