1. Malaria is transmitted by

Explanation

Malaria is transmitted by female Anopheles mosquitoes. These mosquitoes are the primary vectors of the malaria parasite, Plasmodium, which causes the disease. Female Anopheles mosquitoes become infected with the parasite when they feed on the blood of an infected person. The parasite then multiplies within the mosquito and when the mosquito bites another person, it injects the parasite into their bloodstream, thus transmitting malaria. Male Anopheles mosquitoes do not transmit the disease as they do not bite humans. Other options, such as honeybees and tsetse flies, are not involved in the transmission of malaria.

Malaria is a mosquito-borne infectious disease that causes flu-like symptoms, including these three common symptoms. Headache is a common symptom due to the effect of the parasite on the brain. Muscle ache is another common symptom caused by the infection affecting the muscles. Nausea can occur due to the body's immune response to the infection. Therefore, all three symptoms are associated with Malaria.

3. Malaria is caused by

Explanation

Malaria is caused by the parasite Plasmodium falciparum, not by a virus, bacteria, or mosquito. Plasmodium falciparum is a single-celled organism that is transmitted to humans through the bite of infected mosquitoes. Once inside the human body, the parasite multiplies in the liver and then infects red blood cells, leading to the symptoms of malaria. While mosquitoes play a crucial role in transmitting the parasite, they are not the direct cause of malaria.

Therefore, malaria is considered a zoonotic disease, as it can be transmitted between animals and humans.
