malaria is actually caused by tiny parasites that live inside the mosquitoes, not by the mosquitoes themselves. Plasmodium falciparum, Plasmodium vivax, and Plasmodium ovale are the 3 most common causes of malaria. (All three are commonly called "malarial parasites"--they are closely related species.)
When a mosquito first bites a human, it injects some anticoagulants to keep the blood from clotting. If the mosquito happens to be infected with a malarial parasite, the parasite will be injected with the anticoagulants and will then infect the human red blood cells.
