How long does it take for a mosquito to bite you and transfer malaria to your body?

Answer 1

IF a mosquito carrying the malaria bug bit you, the actual transfer could happen in seconds.
Whether you got malaria or not depends on your immune system.

Answer 2

Malaria is transmitted from man to man by the female anopheles mosquito, one of the most capable vectors of human disease.
Mosquitoes choose the blood donor by odours and visual clues and can learn from experience! Human behaviour also plays a role and males are more frequently bitten.

NOT JUST MALARIA
Apart from malaria, anopheles mosquitoes are also known to transmit W. bancrofti (filarial worm); the Timorese filaria, Brugia timori; several arboviruses including eastern and western equine encephalitis, Venezualan equine encephalitis, onyong-nyong, tataguine etc.

HOW DO THEY BITE?
The female mosquito has a specialised apparatus to penetrate the skin of its victim. At the end of the slender proboscis, there are two pairs of cutting stylets that slide against one another to slice through the skin. Once through the skin, the mosquito's proboscis begins probing for a tiny blood vessel. If it does not strike one on the first try, the mosquito will pull back slightly and try again at another angle through the same hole in the skin. Inside the proboscis are two hollow tubes, one that injects saliva into the microscopic wound and one that withdraws blood. The mosquito's saliva includes a combination of antihemostatic and anti- inflammatory enzymes that disrupt the clotting process and inhibit the pain reaction (so that the victim is unaware of the bite!)

WHEN DO THEY BITE?
Anopheles mosquitoes enter the house between 5 p.m. and 9.30 p.m. and again in early hours of morning. They start biting by late evening and the peak of biting activity is at midnight and early hours of morning. By keeping the windows and doors closed between 5 p.m. and 10 p.m. and again in early morning, one can prevent the entry of these mosquitoes into the house. Also protect yourself against the bites in the evenings and early mornings by wearing garments that cover the body as much as possible and at bedtime, by using mosquito nets without fail.

WHERE THEY HIDE
The adult mosquitoes hide themselves behind cupboards, clothes, curtains and other dark and cool corners during the day and come out to bite at night. It is important to minimize these hiding places. Therefore keep the cupboards and such other things closed; do not hang clothes at corners of the room, instead keep them inside the wardrobes or cupboards.

Answer 3

For the record, malaria is not caused by a virus. It is caused by protozoan parasites of the genus Plasmodium. Different species cause malaria with different symptoms.

Answer 4

It all depends on your human immune system. It is your body who determines when and where does Malaria virus would attack you. No one can answer the exact time and exact place when the Malaria Virus would attack you since it enters your body.

Answer 5

I doesn't take time, it depends upon how fast you are getting bitten. But it takes 14days to infect your blood as per the life cycle of the parasite.
