How is malaria disease transmitted?

My son's school had a malaria awareness session, and they talked about prevention. I just wanted to properly understand, how exactly is malaria disease transmitted from person to person?

Basically, malaria is transmitted when an infected female Anopheles mosquito bites you. It's like they act as a carrier for the parasite. So yeah, keeping the mosquitoes away with sprays and patches is literally the best way to not get sick during college exams.

Malaria is transmitted through the bite of an infected female Anopheles mosquito, which introduces the parasite into our bloodstream. For diabetics, any infection can cause a dangerous spike in blood sugar. Along with keeping your diet in check, ensure there is no stagnant water around your house to prevent breeding.

I always use neem oil spray and burn camphor to keep mosquitoes away from my family, which is very practical. Malaria is transmitted solely through mosquito bites. While home remedies help keep the bugs away, please seek immediate medical help and get a blood test if you catch a high fever.

You definitely don't catch malaria from eating street food, guys! It is strictly transmitted by mosquito bites. So keep enjoying your street snacks, but maybe wear full sleeves and carry a mosquito repellent spray when you head out to those open-air dhabas.

Malaria is transmitted via the bite of infected mosquitoes, which directly affects your blood. Since I manage high blood pressure, I always keep my home environment clean and get regular checkups done. Preventing mosquito breeding is a simple lifestyle habit we all must practice.
