so what to do with it ? :p
How about answer it..it seems strait forward, doesn't it? I only have like one point: mosquito is a vector of malaria; it carries the disease-causing protozoa.
Which is why I posted the question in the first place.

i'll try it
1. Mosquitoes suck blood of infected person containing the protozoa
2. Protozoa first sexually then asexually reproduces in large number, in the stomach.
3. Then they move to the salivary glands in the mouth
4. Mosquitoes have wings which enables them to fly to an uninfected person
5. Mosquitoes while sucking his blood secretes out his saliva transmitting the protozoa into the healthy person, therefore making him a victim of malaria. :(
