Malaria is spread by mosquitos transferring a parasite...I’m not sure it’s that contagious unless body fluids are shared or hoards of mosqitos with the parasite came from Africa with the patient. Am I wrong....teach me please.

Yes it is spread by mosquito bites and if you have those bugs in a malaria ridden zone you can get it fairly easily. I did not mean to imply it was air borne. My apologies. My point was only that these folks coming back from malaria and ebola ridden countries could have either or both ( as did Nancy Writebol)
