Malaria research, Africa. Researcher storing malaria parasite cultures in a cryogenic unit, which preserves samples by freezing them at minus 150 degrees Celsius. Malaria is a severe disease caused by Plasmodium parasites, which are transmitted to humans by blood-feeding Anopheles mosquitoes. This research is for the IRD (Institut de Recherche pour le Developpement), a French organisation that funds research in developing countries. Photographed in Cotonou, Benin, in 2007.
