Anopheles (mosquito)

Anopheles mosquitoes are a genus of mosquitoes known for being primary carriers of malaria, a serious disease caused by parasites. These insects typically breed in clean, stagnant water and are most active during dusk and dawn. Female Anopheles mosquitoes are the ones that bite humans to feed on blood, which is necessary for their reproduction. Their bites can transmit malaria and other diseases, making them a significant public health concern, especially in tropical and subtropical regions. Preventative measures include using mosquito nets, repellents, and community health initiatives to reduce breeding sites.
