      Anopheles Mosquito Bites

      According to the latest World Malaria Report by the World Health Organization (WHO), there were an estimated 249 million cases of malaria in 85 malaria-endemic countries, with an increase of 58 cases per 1000 population at risk, and 608,000 malaria deaths worldwide in 2022. Anopheles mosquitoes, which transmit malaria, only breed in clean, sunlit water. They typically bite late at night (between 10 PM and 4 AM) and are most prevalent in rural areas. Female mosquitoes require blood meals for egg production, and these blood meals create a link between human and mosquito hosts in the parasite's life cycle.
