==Introduction Comments
"the erythrocytic stage which is the phase at which the host red blood cells are infected with the Plasmodium parasite"
   - Phrasing is slightly awkward.

"In the past two decades, malaria vaccine development has expanded to target the three different stages of Plasmodium development: (1) the initial stage of mosquito vector to host transmission, which is the stage of liver cell infection; (2) the erythrocytic stage which is the phase at which the host red blood cells are infected with the Plasmodium parasite; (3) the sexual stage, which is the phase at which the mosquito has taken up the parasite, and Plasmodium sexually reproduces midgut of the vector."
  - It might be helpful to direct the reader to figure 2 at somepoint in the above paragraph.

"With a large microbiota population colonizing the midgut of the mosquito, this compartment becomes a highly competitive environment for symbiotic bacteria as well as pathogenic bacteria"
 - Could be restructured "The midgut of the mosquito is colonized by a large population of microbiota, fostering a highly competitive environment..." but it is fine. 

"can be effected by microbiota"
 - I believe affected may be more appropriate here.

==Lifecycle comments==
"pre erythrocytic stage of the Plasmodium life cycle."
 -pre-erythrocytic

==Microbial Symbiosis of Anopheles gambiae comments==
  - Is there information on the potential roles of each of these Asaia, Enterobacter, Mycobacterium, Sphingomonas, Serratia and Chryseobacterium?
==General Comments==
 -Species and organism names need italics. ex. <i>Anopheles gambiae</i>
