malaria is transmitted by mosquitoes that have bitten an infected person and then bitten you. It is in the saliva of the mosquito. To prevent the disease a person wants to reduce the number of bites they receive. Nets to sleep under help. Reducing the number of mosquitoes help. Spray to repel insects help.

A disease caused by the presence of the sporozoan Plasmodium in human or other vertebrate erythrocytes, usually transmitted to humans by the bite of an infected female mosquito of the genus Anopheles that previously sucked blood from a person with malaria

Malaria is a potentially fatal tropical disease that is caused by a parasite known as Plasmodium. It is spread through the bite of an infected female mosquito. Malaria is transmitted to humans from the Anopheles mosquito. *Each year, there are approximately 515 million cases of malaria, killing between one and three million people, the majority of whom are young children in Africa. *Ninety percent of malaria-related deaths occur in Africa. Malaria is commonly associated with poverty, but is also a cause of poverty. *Malaria is one of the most common Infectious Diseases and an enormous public health problem. *Young children are more prone to getting Malaria than adults are. *Malaria is a disease which kills a child every 30 seconds across Africa. *In Tanzania malaria is the leading killer of children. Symptoms of malaria are fever, shivering, joint pain, vomiting, anemia, hemoglobinuria (when your urine turns red), retinal damage, and convulsions. The classic symptom of malaria is occurrence of sudden coldness followed by rigor (shaking) and then fever and sweating lasting four to six hours, every two days.

Malaria is caused by one of at least four species of parasitic protozoan in the Plasmodium genus, P. malariae, P. vivax, P. ovale, and P. falciparum, with P. falciparumcausing the most acute onset and highest mortality. It is spread by the female Anopheles mosquito in tropical and subtropical climates in endemic areas.

Malaria is caused by the bite of a female mosquito. Female mosquitoes are silent, so they are not easy to spot. When a female mosquito would bite an infected person, a little bit of blood would be taken, which contains malaria parasites. These parasites will develop in the mosquito, and after about a week or so, when the mosquito bites once more, the person bitten will be injected with the parasites via the mosquitoes saliva. After a while, malaria will start to come, leading to headaches and fever and sometimes coma or death.
