Most Malaria cases, however, occur in sub-Saharan Africa.The malaria parasite is spread by the Anopheles Mosquito, which is the only mospuito that can transmit the disease.

Why female anopheles mosquito is responsible to transfer plasmodium in humanbeing and why not in the male?
Male (and female) mosquitoes feed on flowers. However, it is only the female mosquito which bites humans. "She" does this in order to obtain proteins from the blood plasma, which she needs for her eggs. (The male mosquito does not need these proteins, hence it does not bite the human.) Since the female mosquito is the only one being exposed to human blood, it is the only one which will transmit its contents, including malaria. :)
