==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.
