Yes. It is mostly the female mosquito that sucks mammalian blood .
Male Mosquitoes are principally nectar feeders with only the females requiring a meal of blood, except for the Toxorhynchites, which never drinks blood.

No. but maleria fever spread by only female mosquitoes. The disease is caused by a protistan parasite of the genus Plasmodium that is transmitted primarily by female Anopheles mosquitoes.
