    The document discusses the chain of infection for malaria. It identifies four species of the Plasmodium parasite (P. vivax, P. malariae, P. falciparum, P. ovale) as the infectious agents. Humans are the susceptible host and reservoir for the disease regardless of attributes. Malaria is transmitted through the bite of an infected female Anopheles mosquito, with the mosquito serving as the mode of transmission and portal of entry and exit being the skin where a mosquito can bite.
