The primary carrier of malaria is the female Anopheles mosquito. When it bites an infected person, it takes in the malaria parasites, which can then be transmitted to another person through subsequent bites. Malaria is caused by Plasmodium parasites, with Plasmodium falciparum being the most deadly species. Effective prevention and control measures focus on reducing mosquito populations and preventing bites.
