By whom is malaria transferred from one person to another?
Malaria is transferred from one person to another primarily by Anopheles mosquito. These mosquitoes carry and transmit the Plasmodium parasites responsible for causing malaria when they bite humans, making Anopheles mosquitoes the primary vectors of the disease.

Malaria is primarily transferred from one person to another by (c) Anopheles mosquito. These mosquitoes are the main vectors of malaria parasites, transmitting them to humans through their bites. While Aedes mosquitoes (a) are vectors for diseases like dengue fever and Zika virus, and Culex mosquitoes (b) transmit diseases such as West Nile virus and lymphatic filariasis, they are not the primary vectors for malaria. Therefore, malaria transmission predominantly occurs through the bite of infected Anopheles mosquitoes, making them crucial in the spread of this infectious disease.
