Typhoid is not transmitted by mosquitoes. It's a bacterial illness acquired from contaminated food and water.

Malaria is a protozoa infection. Here's a link. There is treatment, so get yourself to a physician if you have symptoms.

Your post is tagged 'Saba', according to CDC, there isn't a risk of malaria there.
