Question

Name the insect which is the carrier of parasite of malaria.

Answer 1

Answer:

Only certain species of mosquitoes of the Anopheles genus—and only females of those species—can transmit malaria. Malaria is caused by a one-celled parasite called a Plasmodium. Female Anopheles mosquitoes pick up the parasite from infected people when they bite to obtain blood needed to nurture their eggs.

Answer 2

Female Anopheles mosquitoes

Explanation:

Malaria is caused by Plasmodium parasites. The parasites are spread to people through the bites of infected female Anopheles mosquitoes, called "malaria vectors." This disease is preventable and curable. In 2018, there were an estimated 228 million cases of malaria worldwide. The estimated number of deaths due to malaria stood at 405,000 in 2018 according to World Health Organization (WHO).
