Because only the female Anopheles mosquitoes take bloodmeals from infected hosts; they need it for the development of their eggs.

As previously said, it's because male Anopheles mosquitoes don't feed on animals, but on plants (they need mainly sugar to survive). On the other end, female Anopheles mosquitoes need blood because it is essential for egg production. As you can notice, males are completely excluded from the transmission pathway of Plasmodium parasites, that's why they are not affected.

Thank you all very much for your answers

Dear Denzel,

perhaps what you ask is why Plasmodium is transmitted through female anopheles mosquitoes and not through male anopheles mosquitoes. It is simply because male mosquitoes (of any genus whether Anopheles , Culex or Aedes) do not feed on human blood. In fact their mouth parts are not such so that to pierce the skin of the human. Male mosquitoes feed and survive on flower rector etc.On the other hand female mosquitoes (of any genus ) lay eggs to carry forward their progeny and blood proteins are required for the maturation of their eggs. Hence, females mosquitoes need blood and blood may be of human or animal (depending on the host preference of the mosquito species). Otherwise femal emosquitoes can also thrive on nectar as well. In that even their eggs will be sterile. Since Plasmodium parasite passes asexual stages (schizogony) in in human body and blood those anopheles mosquitoes who prefer to feed on human blood are more likely to get infected by Plasmodium and further transit the Plasmodium to a healthy person

because the female need the blood in the process of egg formation so it is moving the disease

I think, it is because the feeding behaviours of males and female mosquitos. The females feed on blood and so carry the parasite too, while males feed on plant nectors

I think, it is because the feeding behaviours of males and female mosquitos. The females feed on blood and so carry the parasite too, while males feed on plant nectors

Because male mosquitoes of Anopheles specie don't suck blood but females need blood meal for oviposition.

I think the question is answered properly and all answers are almost the same

I agree with Subair

this is depended on the structure of mouth for insect and these structure modulation what insect need for its feed

Question well answered. Females feed on blood for egg development, in the process get infected with Plasmodia, specifically the gametocytes, hence vectors. Male mosquitoes do not interact with mammalian animals but rather feed on plant juices as explained in the responses above.

because the female feed on infective blood with plasmodium

Because only female mosquito bite human to develop and maturate her fertilized egg. So this time plasmodium gametes are taken in to midgut of mosquito to be fertilized where important site to sustain its generation. But male don't

Note that even the female Anopheles mosquitoes also feed on sugars from plant juices but need the animal blood meal for successful reproduction.

The reason is that only the female of mosquitoes are affected by plasmodium parasites, not male mosquitoes because they are the one that transports this parasite to humans because the parts of its mouth are capable of piercing the human skin and absorbing blood, thus transmitting malaria to humans and not males in mosquitoes.

Thank you all for your answers. Am enlightened.

Because the male of Anopheles mosquito feeds on vegetable cellular juice and nectar of flowers

Actually what happens in malaria is that only female anopheles containing sporozoits in there saliva bits the human in order to suck blood and the sporozoits gets transmitted into The body of human nd only these female anopheles mosquito bits humans because they have to obtain proteins from the human blood plasma, which they use in their eggs. The male does not need these proteins hence they do not transfer malaria.

Female mosquitoes only feed on blood for egg development, hence got infected with blood circulating pathogens. While males feed on plant juices or sugar.

Agree with the explanations of Param Veer Singh. The Answer is its life cycle the host specificity is the main point here. The female mosquitoes require high protein rich diet for the production of eggs. So they suck blood only for nutrition. They attracted by the odor of the humans sweat. So this might be the reason they mostly movers around the hairs of the human whenever you are in the play ground i saw many times.

Thanking you

This is because male Anopheles mosquitoes do not feed on animals but on plants to survive. While, female Anopheles mosquitoes need blood because it is essential to the development of eggs. They also bites humans because they have to acquire the proteins they use for their eggs from the human blood plasma.

Unlike to male that feed on plants, only female anopheles needs to suck human blood containing proteins that they use in their eggs

Female Anopheles mosquitoes get the parasite from people who are infected, while they feed on the blood that they need to nurture their eggs they obtain the parasite. Inside the mosquito the parasites reproduce and develop. Now when the mosquito bites another person, the parasites contained in the salivary gland are injected and pass into the blood of the person being bitten.

Male Anopheles feed on plants while Female Anopheles mosquito feed on the blood because it is necessary for the growth and development of her eggs. This makes the Female Anopheles mosquito a suitable vevtor for the transmission of Plasmodium sporozoites, because they have interaction with human unlike male ones.

Male Anopheles feed mainly on plants while Female Anopheles mosquito feed on the blood because it is necessary not only for the growth but for the development of her eggs. This gives nutrients ti her eggs which will aid a normal functioning of the systems inside her body, and her eggs during development. This makes the Female Anopheles mosquito a suitable vector for the transmission of Plasmodiumsporozoites, because they have interaction with human unlike male ones.

Female Anopheles mosquito a suitable vector for the transmission of Plasmodium sporozoites because they have interaction with human unlike male ones wherein they feed on plants. The parasite from infected people when they bite to obtain blood needed to nurture their eggs which gives nutrients to her eggs which will help for a normal functioning of the systems inside her body, and her eggs during development.

Hi Denzel Sarpong,

Female Anopheles mosquitoes pick up the parasite from infected people when they bite into them in order to obtain the nutrient rich blood they need to nurture their eggs. Only the female gets affected by the plasmodium because they are the only ones exposed to the parasite. Male mosquitoes do not bite humans since they do not carry the eggs. When the mosquito bites again, the parasites contained in the salivary gland are injected and pass into the blood of the person being bitten.

Great-full thanks for all friends answers, your answers are correct With regard to male

.... please if you can answer on following my other question in the questions box

Because male Anopheles mosquitoes don't feed on animals, but on plants needing mostly carbohydrates to survive. Female Anopheles mosquitoes need blood because it is essential for egg production needing protein-rich food.

Because a female Anopheles mosquitoes possess absorbent piercing mouth parts and feed on human blood. As for a female Anopheles mosquitoes possess absorbent mouth parts, this is why they cannot feed on a person’s blood and puncture his skin.

My brother, that depending to nature of feed.

(females on blood and males on plants)

Thank you very much for your answers.

This is because the male of Anopheles mosquitoes do not feed on blood, but on vegetable juices, unlike females, because of their need for blood components, especially protein, in the process of eggs formation , so the plasmodium parasite does not infect males, but only females.

I agree with Zahraa Kareem Abdullah Almayali

Two answers:-

1). Femlae An. mosquitoes take blood meal due to the anatomy of their proboscis- it is sharpe and used only for piercing of animal skins ans take blood form them, for Vitellogenesis ( the process of egg development from break-down of Hb- amino acids as the final Catabolism products). In the meantime, they eat the leftover regurgitation of RBCs et al.

2). Anatomically, the proboscis of male mosquitoes are blat-ended. Can't pierce animals' skins so their life depends on sucking nectars of flowers.

The Plasmodium parasite affects female Anopheles mosquitoes because they require blood for egg development, unlike the nectar-feeding males.
