Insecticide Treated Nets The Anopheles is one of the best known types of mosquito because of its role in the transmission of malaria. Since the Anopheles mosquito bites between dusk and dawn, sleeping under mosquito nets treated with insecticides provides critical protection against the spread of malaria.
Mosquitoes transmit disease in a variety of ways. In the case of malaria, parasites attach themselves to the gut of a female mosquito and enter a host as she feeds. In other cases, such as yellow fever and dengue, a virus enters the mosquito as it feeds on an infected human and is transmitted via the mosquitoâs saliva to a subsequent victim.
