The mosquito is made of more parts and they're more differentiated than a virus, so there's more ways to make it fail. EDIT/Errata: Malaria is not a virus.

- tgb 8y agoMalaria isn't a virus, FYI. Nor a bacteria.
- biomcgary 8y agoMalaria is caused by a protist (a singled celled organism), not a virus. To some extent, you are right about the mosquito being a bigger target. However, the larger reason is that Plasmodium populations (the protist) are larger than mosquito populations and, consequently, can evolve around human modifications faster.
