%X Malaria is an infection caused by a protozoan parasite of the genus Plasmodium; four species of which infect human beings, the most common being Plasmodium vivax and most deadly being Plasmodium falciparum. The Anopheles mosquito serves as Plasmodium¡¯s delivery system, or vector. Only female mosquitoes can transmit it since males don¡¯t take blood meals. Anopheles mosquitoes bite mainly during night time hours and early hours in the morning (IDRC, 2008).
