No I don't think you can because there is water shortage happening in Portugal and one of the main ways that mosquitos can carry malaria is when there are large amounts of water around. So it's highly unlikely to catch malaria in Portugal.
yes it does

The female Anopheles mosquito, carries the Malaria parasite from one victim to the next, infecting them all.

It's not to do with malaria, that's just a coincidence; it's because the people either have no access to water, or there is a severe risk of cholera.
