Answer 2

Required Answer:

Malaria is caused by a protozoan named plasmodium. Carrier of this disease is female Anopheles mosquito which means it is caused due to its bite.

Plasmodium is injected when the mosquito bites and punctures the skin for blood. Then, plasmodium enters the body and Plasmodium attacks the red blood cells (RBC).
