Anopheles is a Greek term. For medical reasons to mean a carrier of diseases that contract to humans. That was used for a genus of mosquito.

said, "Humans do not contract P. yoelli"

We don't contract slugs either. Though we can contract the diseases the slug carries. I'm not sure why this is so difficult.

The rest of your post seems to be over similar miss understandings of basic communication.
I have to ask myself why?

example: "SARS-CoV-2 does not somehow magically produce vivax malaria in Covid patients"
I never said it does.

Yes, certain species of anopheles mosquito can carry diseases to humans, like P. falciparum, P. vivax, P. ovale, and P. malariae. Certain species can carry P. knowlesi to monkeys and humans. Certain species can carry P. berghei, P.chabaudi, P. vinckei and P. yoelii to rats and mice.

People do not contract the murine varieties (such as P. yoelii and rats and mice do not contract the forms that infest humans (like P. vivax).

Don’t you get it? The disease IS P. yoelii. The carrier (vector) is the mosquito!

Not only can P. yoelii not be contracted by humans, it cannot carry P.vivax or any other disease. ****It is the disease!*** And it is only contracted by rats and mice.

Furthermore, the teensy-weensy little SARS-CoV-2 virus cannot “carry” malaria parasites (which are humongous in comparison). Only mosquitoes can. What is so hard to understand about that?

The reason you cannot explain it is because you have zero understanding of how any of this works.
