No, they bite multiple times, which is how the malaria parasite (plasmodium) gets transmitted from infected people. Their life cycle involves several weeks in a mosquito, so it’s possible to get sick, get treated, recover, and be reinfected by descendants of the parasites you had.
Pretty sure most mosquitoes bite once, then lay eggs. Must have been multiple.

My bad I didn’t think about the transmission. I somehow silently assumed they’d bite, lay eggs, bite again, lay more eggs.
That’s the default cycle but they will bite note than once if they don’t get enough.
