Solution

Dear Student
Malaria is a disease caused by protozoan Plasmodium. It is transmitted by female anopheles mosquito. Female mosquitoes require highly nutritious blood to lay eggs, so they feed on warm-blooded animals. The female mosquito that bites an infected person can transfer the disease-causing microorganism from an infected person’s blood to a healthy person.
