If a mosquito infected with malaria initially probes a host but fails to draw blood, which consequence follows?

💡 Explanation

The malaria parasite's sporozoites are injected during blood feeding; therefore, if the mosquito fails to fully feed, sporozoites are less likely to enter the host, because the transmission event is interrupted, rather than initiating infection processes.
