Answer:
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. Inside the mosquito the parasites reproduce and develop.

because male Anopheles mosquitoes don't feed on animals, but on plants (they need mainly sugar to survive). On the other end, female Anopheles mosquitoes need blood because it is essential for egg production. As you can notice, males are completely excluded from the transmission pathway of Plasmodium parasites, that's why they are not affected.
