Only female mosquitoes need blood, so they bite humans thus transmitting the parasite from an infected human to a non-infected human.
Explanation:
Female mosquitoes need blood in order to produce eggs for reproduction. When they bite an malaria-infected person, they carry the parasite with them and can transmit it to the next person they bite.
