More realistic human-mosquito mathematical model in which re-infected asymptomatic humans are considered is presented. The Next Generation Matrix technique is used to construct epidemiological threshold known as the reproduction number. Locally and globally asymptotically stable disease-free equilibrium conditions for the model are established. Possible time-scale of events for model transition from non-endemic to endemic is analyzed. Results show that the buildup of the latent asymptomatic humans at steady state is the main dynamics of malaria in the endemic region.
