BETWEEN A MALE AND A FEMALE MOSQUITO WHICH ONE CAUSES MALARIA?







Between a Male and a Female mosquito which one causes Malaria?

Human malaria is carried out by certain species of mosquito of the Anopheles genus. They are the only females species of mosquitoes that can transmit malaria.
Both the Male and female mosquitoes feeds on various sources of sugar such as nectar. In addition to the sugar source female anopheles mosquitoes require iron and other nutrients for the developments of their eggs. As a result she bites the human to obtain the blood. The male does not need these proteins hence they do not transfer malaria.
Through the bite, a female anopheles mosquito transmits malaria, if they have been infected through a previous blood meal taken (If its host was infected).
It is true that the female anopheles mosquitoes are the only species of mosquito that can transmit human malaria.
Birds and other reptiles can also get Plasmodium, though different species than those that infect humans and other mammals, and these kinds of malaria can also be transmitted by other kinds of mosquitoes,

Together we can win the fight against malaria.
There is hope, and our primary task here as
# IstandtofightMalaria organisation, Is to set goals on the eradication and prevention of this deadly Mosquito-borne disease. Our goal is to use the power of information to # Reach # Sensitize# Educate # Raise Awareness and # Empower communities affected by malaria on the severe consequences of the disease and most importantly, how they can # Prevent themselves from malaria transmission or getting infected by the disease.
Prevention of Malaria is not only sleeping under mosquito nets, the environment should be clean and grass and the bushes should be cut short. Stagnant waters should be cleared since they serve as breeding grounds for mosquitoes. This are the effective measures that can be easily be put into practice and minimize the spread of malaria.
