commensalism
In malaria, the disease-causing protist lives inside a female mosquito as a carrier, but does not hurt her. The mosquito bites a human or animal, and the protozoan goes into and infects the person. It makes the person very sick. What types of symbiosis are happening? Name and explain each type.

Commensalism - mosquito and protozoan; Parasitism - human and protozoan
