Malaria is spread by __________.
A
contaminated drinking water
B
airborne respiratory droplets
C
the bite of infected Anopheles mosquitoes
D
direct contact with an infected person
Verified step by step guidance1
Identify the mode of transmission for malaria by understanding the biology of the disease and its causative agent, Plasmodium species.
Recall that malaria is a vector-borne disease, meaning it requires a living organism to transmit the pathogen from one host to another.
Recognize that the specific vector for malaria is the female Anopheles mosquito, which transmits the Plasmodium parasite through its bite.
Eliminate other options such as contaminated drinking water, airborne respiratory droplets, and direct contact, as these are not known transmission routes for malaria.
Conclude that the correct mode of transmission is 'the bite of infected Anopheles mosquitoes' because this is how the parasite enters the human bloodstream.
