What does stagnant do to cause Malaria?

Stagnant water provides a breeding ground for mosquitoes, particularly the Anopheles mosquito, which is the primary vector for transmitting the malaria parasite. When mosquitoes lay their eggs in stagnant water, the larvae hatch and develop into adult mosquitoes that can then bite and infect humans with the malaria parasite. Therefore, stagnant water plays a crucial role in the transmission of malaria by providing a suitable environment for mosquito breeding.
