How do the Malaria Mosquitoes fail?

Written by: Asma kakar

Once upon a time, there was a contaminated water pond.  Many malaria mosquitoes were living there in the pond. Among them was a mosquito called Anopheles.

One-day Anopheles’ husband wanted her to go and bite some human being and suck their blood. She prepared to fly but saw a boy, Mahmood who was playing in the water of the ditch. Anopheles bite him and sucked his blood. Mahmood went home. Anopheles and her husband became very happy to get their food.

A couple of days later, Mahmood became sick. He had been suffering from a bad fever with shivering and body pain. His father took him to a doctor. The doctor asked for his blood exam. The result showed that his illness is caused by malaria.

The doctor said that malaria is caused by a female mosquito called Anopheles. When Anopheles bites someone, he/she gets malaria and when the ordinary mosquitoes bite the patient of malaria, and then if this ordinary mosquito bites a healthy person, he/ she would also get the microbe of malaria.

Mahmood’s father said to the doctor that they had covered their house windows with net and there is no way for mosquitoes to enter the room. Mahmood says that some days back he was playing near the contaminated water pond and mosquitoes might have bitten him there.

Some days later, the malaria mosquitoes decided to go to another ditch and find someone to bite him/her but they sensed a bad smell of anti-mosquito spray. They returned to their own ditch and saw Mahmood and became very happy for finding a good hunt again. When they reached to ditch, Mahmood was filling the ditch with soil and the mosquitoes failed to bite anyone.
