Yes, malaria is considered a communicable disease, but it is not spread directly from person to person like many other infectious diseases. Instead, malaria is transmitted primarily through the bite of infected female Anopheles mosquitoes. When these mosquitoes bite a person, they can introduce the Plasmodium parasites into the bloodstream, leading to malaria.
Additionally, malaria can be transmitted through blood transfusions, the sharing of needles, or from mother to fetus during pregnancy, although these modes of transmission are less common. Because of its transmission dynamics, malaria is classified as a communicable disease, but it requires a vector (the mosquito) for its spread.
