malaria is not contagious. It is a parasitic disease that lives inside female Anopheles mosquitoes. Infected Anopheles mosquitoes infect humans by biting into the skin (with their parasitic saliva) and transferring the disease into the blood cells of the human. Therefore, only infected mosquitoes can infect humans with malaria.

Malaria is in fact contagious. If you get a blood transfusion from someone with malaria, it is possible it can be passed on to you. But, as far as coughing and touching goes, no.
