Is malaria caused by a parasite that lives in mosquitoes?

Malaria is caused by a single-cell parasite called Plasmodium. The parasite infects female mosquitoes when they feed on an infected person's blood. Once in the mosquito's midgut, the parasites multiply and migrate to the salivary glands, ready to infect a new person when the mosquito next bites.
