Answer:

Anopheles mosquitoes

Step-by-step explanation:

Malaria is a common disease characterized by symptoms that include: headache, fever, nausea etc. Malaria disease is caused by a pathogen called PLASMODIUM, which is a protozoan parasite. However, these plasmodium parasites are carried to induce their damage by vectors called MOSQUITOES.

Not all genus of mosquitoes carry this pathogen but specifically ANOPHELES MOSQUITOES. The female species of an Anopheles mosquito carries plasmodium when they feed (suck blood) of an infected person. They then inject it into the bloodstream of another victim they suck from.
