Solution

If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion

A healthy person acquires infection when a female Anopheles mosquito, containing infective stages of parasite (sporozoites) in its salivary glands, bites him for sucking his blood. The mosquito punctures the host's skin by its proboscis and first introduces some saliva into blood stream. Along with saliva, thousands of sporozoites contained therein are also inoculated. Sporozoites represent the infective forms of parasite.
