Are mosquito bites the only way to catch malaria?

Malaria is an infectious disease caused by parasites. Humans catch malaria when that parasite enters their blood stream. The parasite that causes malaria is a protozoan called Plasmodium. They are very small organisms that have only one cell (but are larger and more complex than bacteria). To answer your question, no, there are other ways to "catch" malaria. A baby can get it while inside its mother. This is called maternal-fetal transmission. People can also get malaria from a blood transfusion. This is when someone gives blood to another person. Another way people can catch malaria is by using a needle that someone with the disease used before them. A few obvious ways to prevent infection are: controlling mosquitoes, keeping mosquitoes from biting, and taking medicine to keep from getting sick after a bite (most relevant to parts of the world where people can get malaria).
