Abstract
A discrete-time model is established to show the transmission of malaria between humans and mosquitoes with the incubation periods of parasites within both human and mosquito concerned. It is proved that the disease free equilibrium of the model is globally asymptotically stable when the basic reproduction number is less than 1 by constructing appropriate Lyapunov functions.
