Lymphatic filariasis and malaria are both transmitted by mosquitoes. Malaria is caused by a protozoan parasite transferred by the Anopheles mosquito, while lymphatic filariasis is caused by a thread-like parasite transferred by several species of mosquitoes. Toxoplasmosis is primarily transmitted through contact with cat feces or eating undercooked meat. Babesiosis is typically transmitted by ticks, while Chagas' disease is transmitted by triatomine bugs. Leishmaniasis is mainly transmitted through sandfly bites, and schistosomiasis is acquired through contact with contaminated water.
