Why a person having malarial parasite does not shows symptoms of disease?
Some peoples (ie tribes/families) who have lived in malaria infested regions have developed a natural partial immunity to the parasite (by a process of natural selection and evolution) such people may be infected by the parasite but do not develop full blown malaria because their immune system keeps the parasite in check.
Note, the danger in this is that such people act as the source of malaria affecting others. The mosquito has to bite someone with malaria FIRST then go on to bite a SECOND person. This gives malaria to the SECOND person. Obviously people carrying the malaria parasite but not ill do not go and get treated for malaria (have the parasite in their bodies killed). They therefore act as a hidden reservoir for infection.

Yes Malaria can be transmitted from person to person, one way is by a mom having a baby and then when the baby comes out the mom and baby would both be infected, but this is very rare! Another way it can be transmitted from person to person is if a needle is used by multiple patients then the needle would take place of the mosquito bite, And the infected blood would be on the needle so when the next patient gets the needle in their arm the Malaria organisms would get into the next patients blood stream and infect the patient! But these two cases are both rare especially since needles are cleaned before used on another patient. And the moms are checked to see if their bloodstream is clean before they give birth.
malaria is transmitted to humans form the Anophelesmosquito. Once the disease enters the blood stream the protozoan target red blood cells and cause them to burst simeaultaneously releasing millions more protozoan.
