female mosquitoes transmit malaria because they are the ones who actually suck blood,males do not. The blood feeding is part of the females egg laying process and as such the males do not need to suck blood.

The female is the only mosquito that sucks blood Only the female is capable of drinking blood, an act called haematophagy.

They will actually pierce the skin with their sharp proboscis, injecting a mild painkiller as they do so, to numb the pain, and will then proceed to suck the host's blood.

How do mosquito carry malaria?

Malaria parasites divide in your red blood cells. They are liberated from there, to invade the fresh red blood cells. This cycle continues to give you bouts of malarial fever. Some of the parasites get converted into male and female gametes. When an anopheles mosquito bites you, he sucks some male and female malaria gametes. They get combined in the body of mosquito to form the zygotes. These zygotes eventually travel to the salivary gland of the mosquito. There from they are injected in the blood of next host, before the blood is sucked, to give him malaria. Malaria parasites get multiplied in the liver cells of the host, before they attack the red blood cells.
