It’s the mosquito — and, increasingly, it’s on the move.

The mosquito. There are over 3000 species of mosquito found almost everywhere on the planet. Which one? Actually, don't answer that, I neither expect any MSM "journalists" to actually know the answer to this, nor so I need any to since this is actually a subject I know a lot about.

So given the topic is Malaria it's most likely an Anopheles species, probably gambiae specifically since that's one of the most common carriers of Malaria as these diseases are carried by literally species specific hosts.

You don't find Culex modestus carrying Dengue for example, but it does carry another flaviviridae in the form of West Nike virus. Meanwhile the main carrier of Dengue, Aedes aegyptii, can hatch from eggs already infected with Dengue because of how the disease works. It's a virus, so it's small enough to facilitate vertical transmission from mother to offspring, something that Malaria can't because it's caused by a protozoan and therefore magnitudes larger.

And regardless of all this mosquitoes moving wouldn't even be the problem, because they're already there! The limiting factor for mosquito borne zoonotic transmission is whether the disease can survive. Anopheles mosquitoes are fucking everywhere, but the Plasmodium falciparum, vivax, ovale, and malariae protozoa can't survive in temperature regions as like they can in tropical ones.
