Malaria is a mosquito-borne infectious disease of humans and other animals caused by protists (a type of microorganism) of the genus Plasmodium. It begins with a bite from an infected female Anopheles mosquito‚ which introduces the protists through saliva into the circulatory system. In the blood‚ the protists travel to the liver to mature and reproduce. Malaria causes symptoms that typically include fever and headache‚ which in severe cases can progress to coma or death. The disease is widespread

CAUSES: Malaria is caused by a parasite that is transmitted from one human to another by the bite of infected Anopheles mosquitoes. In humans‚ the parasites (called sporozoites) travel to the liver‚ where they mature and release another form‚ the merozoites. These enter the bloodstream and infect the red blood cells. The parasites multiply inside the red blood cells‚ which then
