Mosquitoes are not parasites. A parasite either lives inside another organism (for example, a tapeworm, or some kinds of bacteria) or it makes its permanent home on the outside of another organism (such as ticks, or lice). The mosquito just drinks blood and leaves; this is a form of predation rather than parasitism.
Yes! mosquitoes are parasites more precisely they are ectoparasities. Only female mosquitoes are ectoparasites whereas the males are non parasites. they feed on juices of plants ie they don't feed on blood like female mosquitoes.
it carries it naturally
It appears that infection of the mosquito by the parasite seems to increase the mosquitoes' survival.

parasite
The bite of infected Anopheles mosquitoes.
Mosquitoes pick up the malaria parasite (Plasmodium) from the blood of infected people when it bites them, it can then transmit the parasite to other people.
vector is usually is the arthropodes carrying the parasites such as mosquitoes.
It is transited to people, by mosquitoes infected with the malaria parasite. It's specifically and solely, the Anopheles mosquito.
female mosquito carries a parasite called protozoan which causes malaria
Fleas, ticks, lice, mites and mosquitoes are all parasites that can be found in the desert.
The female anopheles mosquitoes carry malarial parasites.
no because malaria is only transfer ed through mosquitoes... if someone else had malaria and comes back to England with it then yes . There ARE mosquitoes in the UK. They DO NOT carry the malaria parasite.
