Today is World Malaria Day.
Did you know only the female Anopheles mosquito can transmit #malaria?
They need blood 🩸 to lay their eggs and that’s how the parasite spreads to humans.

Here are 3 things to know:
🌙  They usually bite in the evening or at night often while you’re sleeping
💧 They breed close to home in water like ponds, puddles and rice fields
🦟  When they rest on a wall, their abdomen sticks up like a handstand
