Anopheles, rod kukaca dvokrilaca (diptera) iz porodice komaraca (Culicidae) najpoznatiji po prenošenju malarije. Anofelesi se odlikuju tankim poput vlakana dugačkim nogama i išaranim krilima, te time što su domaćini uzročnika ljudske malarije, takozvanim plazmodijima.
Malariju prenose isključivo ženke koje se hrane ljudskom krvlju u kojoj ima hemoglobina bogatih bjelančevinama koje su im potrebne kako bi hranile svoja jajašca. Ženka izaziva malariju tako što područje uboda podmazuje slinom kako bi spriječila zgrušavanje krvi. U slini komarca nalazi se jednostanični malarijski nametnici, znani kao plazmodiji, prenosnici koji izazivaju zarazu. U krvotok ubodom dospijeva nemkoliko desetaka plazmodija, ali obično je dovoljan jedan da može izazvati smrt.
Plazmodiji se u krvotoku zadržavaju tek nekoliko minuta dok krvožilnim sustavom ne dospiju do jetara gdje se ugnijezde
