An adult female Anopheles mosquito bites a human body to begin its blood meal at Tehatta, West Bengal; India on 24/02/2023. Part of the genus Anopheles, the mosquitoes are capable of carrying and transmitting one of the five single-celled parasite species that cause malaria. Researchers looked at a dataset spanning from 1898 to 2016 and found malaria-carrying Anopheles mosquitoes' territory grew southward by an average of about 310 miles during that 118-year time span. According to WHO's latest World malaria report, there were an estimated 241 million malaria cases and 627 000 malaria deaths worldwide in 2020.

A newly hatched Monarch butterfly with crumpled wings is pictured in a garden in Christchurch, New Zealand, on 09 February 2023. Crumpled wings are a sign that the butterfly is infected with ophryocystis elektroscirrha, or OE. OE is a debilitating parasite that was first found to infect monarch populations in the 1960s. Monarchs affected by OE may not be able to emerge from chrysalis or may emerge with damaged wings, so they are unable to fly. These deformed butterflies won't live long and cannot be saved. In 2022, the monarch butterfly was declared endangered by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN).
