Malaria is a disease that breeds in humans. This disease has been around for thousands of years. Mosquitoes are only the vectors (couriers / postal service). Even if the mosquitoes are modified, the disease will probably find another way of transferring from one human to another. Tinkering with nature may result in unexpected consequences.
