Why do male mosquitoes not give out malaria?

Male mosquitoes do not bite so cannot transmit malaria or other diseases. The adult females are generally short-lived, with only a small proportion living long enough (more than 10 days in tropical regions) to transmit malaria. Hence, male mosquitos cannot transmit malaria.
