Mosquitoes primarily feed on nectar from flowers. Both males and females will feed in this manner, sucking the nectar through a proboscis, much the same as a butterfly does. However, the female is also capable of drinking blood, an act called haematophagy. Females do not require blood to survive, but they need supplements, such as protein and iron, to enable them to develop and lay their eggs. Only the females drink blood because ( as said before) females need the supplements from our blood to lay their eggs. Also, the females are designed for drinking blood. So if you see a mosquito and it flies away from you , you will know it is a male.
Male (and female) mosquitoes feed on flowers. However, it is only the female mosquito which bites humans. "She" does this in order to obtain proteins from the blood plasma, which she needs for her eggs. (The male mosquito does not need these proteins, hence it does not bite the human.) Since the female mosquito is the only one being exposed to human blood, it is the only one which will transmit its contents, including malaria.

No! Female Anopheles Mosquito is just a carrier where the malaria parasite remains sort of dormant. It flourishes only when it gets it's host, i.e. human body. It doesn't actually infect the mosquito.
Plasmodium vivax is a protozoal parasite and a human pathogen. The most frequent and widely distributed cause of recurring (Benign tertian) malaria, P. vivax is one of the six species of malarial parasite that commonly infect humans. It is less virulent than Plasmodium falciparum, which is the deadliest of the six, and is seldom fatal. P. vivax is carried by the female Anopheles mosquito, since it is only the female of the species that bites.
Plamodium vivax is a unicellular eukaryote. It is a heterotrophic organism that attacks red blood cells. This organism is asexual. The Plamodium vivax lives in it's host's body and stays in the blood stream.
yes. it injects into human. then when another mosquito bites same human, the plasmodium comes into that mosquito
Human gets malaria after bite of the infected female anopheles mosquito.
An infected female anopheles mosquito injects the parasite into a human. Once in the human, the parasite infects the liver and ruptures and multiplies, eventually infecting red blood cells. Once in the red blood cells, they rupture and multiply again. This stage is when disease manifests itself. At this point, once a mosquito lands on the human and drinks the blood, the parasites repopulate in the mosquito and the cycle begins again.

culex mosquito spread malaria in sparrow but anopheles mosquito spread malaria in human beings.
a species of mosquitos, the female of the Anopheles mosquito which carries malaria
Every mosquito can bite and pierce human skin. When feeding on human blood, mosquitoes pierce the skin and trigger histamines in the body.
The female mosquito needs the blood to produce eggs.
Human gets malaria after bite of the infected female anopheles mosquito. Mosquito inject the saliva to anesthetize the site of bite and at the same time inject the parasite in the body of the victim.
Malaria is transmitted by the bite of an infected female Anopheles mosquito. This bite introduces the parasites from the mosquito's saliva into a person's blood. The parasites then travel to the liver where they mature and reproduce.

Malaria is caused by the microscopic single -celled protozoan called Plasmodium , and is the deadliest organism on the planet. When a person with active malaria is bitten by the Anopheles mosquito, the mosquito injests the Plasmodium larvae with the blood meal. The larvae travel to the midgut of the mosquito, where they change form. When the mosquito bites UNinfected person, the plasmodium is injected into their bloodstream through the mosquito's saliva. The larvae are in the person's bloodstream , and transform again. Next they invade the blood cells, where they multiply over and over, bursting the blood cells and spreading even more larvae into the blood stream. The infection causes high fevers, and severe anemia, possibly leading to death. Another mosquito bites this person and spreads it to yet a third person. ( i think I left out a side-trip into the human liver somewhere, but you get the idea!)
