Yes malaria can be transmitted from person to person, one way is by a mom having a baby and then when the baby comes out the mom and baby would both be infected, but this is very rare! Another way it can be transmitted from person to person is if a needle is used by multiple patients then the needle would take place of the mosquito bite, And the infected blood would be on the needle so when the next patient gets the needle in their arm the Malaria organisms would get into the next patients blood stream and infect the patient! But these two cases are both rare especially since needles are cleaned before used on another patient. And the moms are checked to see if their bloodstream is clean before they give birth.
