When a mosquito bites someone who has malaria, the mosquito becomes infected and then when that mosquito bites someone else, it transfers a parasite to the other person’s bloodstream. There, the parasites multiply. There are five types of malaria parasites that can infect humans. In rare cases, people who are pregnant and who have malaria can transfer the disease to their children before or during birth.
