poor diagnoses and the lack of chemoprophylaxis‚ especially‚ in areas where malaria has spread. Delaying treatment with an appropriate medication is also another reason for the increase in death rates. Other than being bitten from an infected anopheles mosquito‚ malaria can be transmitted by other ways‚ such as blood transfusion and from pregnant woman to her fetus.
