Transmission
Malaria is usually from an infective female Anopheles mosquito. Only the infected Anopheles mosquitoes can transmit malaria to people. They got this from another infected person that they suck the blood from. When the mosquito bites an infected person, the blood that was taken of them had malaria parasites in it. When the next blood meal comes (1 week later), the parasites and the saliva of the mosquito mix then the person that was bitten next get it.
Malaria can also be transmitted through blood transfusion, organ transplant or shared use of syringes contaminated with blood. It can also be transmitted from a mother to her unborn child before or during the delivery (congenital malaria)
