Mosquito as a Disease Carrier: Types, Life Cycle, Symptoms, and Prevention

There is a small devil—not as big as an elephant, but capable of bringing one down. Mosquitoes are highly prevalent in Africa and adapt well to tropical climates. These are tiny insects with a long, sting-like proboscis used to pierce their victims.

Mosquitoes are known vectors (disease-carrying organisms) that transmit malaria. They do this by injecting the parasite Plasmodium into a person's bloodstream—which takes one to two weeks for symptoms to manifest. Groups at high risk of malaria infection include children under five, women including girls, people with disabilities, and those in remote areas with limited healthcare access.

Types of Mosquitoes

  • Culex mosquito: Transmits diseases like West Nile virus, filariasis, and encephalitis.
  • Anopheles mosquito: Female Anopheles mosquitoes transmit Plasmodium, which causes malaria.
  • Aedes mosquito: Spreads viral diseases such as dengue, Zika virus, and yellow fever.
