    Web Team, it would be great if you could publish the answers as a seperate (but related) post.. so that readers who follow Compassion on Feeds can follow along easily… just a suggestion. =]

    I would guess male mosquitos are also carriers.. they just don’t bite!

    True…”Malaria is transmitted among humans by female mosquitoes of the genus Anopheles. Female mosquitoes take blood meals to carry out egg production, and such blood meals are the link between the human and the mosquito hosts in the parasite life cycle.” ~ taken from http://www.cdc.gov/malaria/biology/index.htm

    True: the infection is only carried by the females.

  5. Cheryl JNo Gravatar Says:

    That is true!

  6. Mike StephensNo Gravatar Says:

    I am going to say false. I don’t see why male mosquitoes can’t infect people also it’s not fair that only the females get to infect with disease!!! ;)

    And the answer is …

    True.

    Only the female Anopheles mosquito can transmit malaria.
