Detailed explanation-1: -Malaria is a parasitic infection transmitted by Anopheline mosquitoes. It causes an estimated 219 million cases globally, and results in more than 400, 000 deaths every year. Most of the deaths occur in children under the age of 5 years. Dengue is the most prevalent viral infection transmitted by Aedes mosquitoes.

Detailed explanation-2: -Malaria is caused by a single-cell parasite called Plasmodium. The parasite infects female mosquitoes when they feed on the blood of an infected person. Once in the mosquito’s midgut, the parasites multiply and migrate to the salivary glands, ready to infect a new person when the mosquito next bites.
