A parasite like a mosquito only has to bite someone for them to be infected or harmed. They can bite as many people as they want or need in order to survive.

Parasites that use only a single host species in their life are called monoxenic; those with multiple hosts are called heteroxenic. ... intermediate hosts are all the others. Paratenic hosts are hosts that are used only for transport; no life cycle stages are completed within the host.
