How can the transmission of malaria occur?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Infected Mosquito: The bite of an infected anopheles mosquitoes transmits malaria. There are about 20 species of this mosquito around the world. The disease is transmitted to humans when an infected anopheles mosquito bites a person & injects parasites into the blood. It recycles when another mosquito takes blood from an infected human & ingests containing parasites back.
