The vector of the malaria parasite is

The vector of the malaria parasite is the female Anophelous mosquito. The malaria parasite needs a host to survive and reproduce, and the female Anophelous mosquito provides that host. When the mosquito feeds on the blood of an infected person, it ingests the malaria parasite along with the blood. The parasite then multiplies within the mosquito and eventually moves to the mosquito's salivary glands. When the mosquito bites another person, it injects saliva containing the malaria parasite into that person's bloodstream, thus spreading the disease. Male Culex mosquitoes do not transmit malaria, and female Aedes and Culex mosquitoes may transmit other diseases but not malaria.
