You can get malaria near places that have a reputation of having a very high mosquito population. If u don't know why mosquitoes are involved with Malaria, that's because Malaria is a disease caused by a mosquito affected by Malaria. When one bites you, u get the disease.

Currently there is no proven vaccine for malaria. Usually medicine is prescribed that protects you against malaria. You take it periodically while you are in an area that has mosquitoes that spread malaria.

Malaria is caused by any one of five types of Plasmodium parasite, transmitted via female Anopholes mosquito bites. Of these five types, Plasmodium Falciparum causes the most extreme and potentially fatal illness.

A mosquito feeding upon the blood of an infected host can ingest a number of these parasites. They develop within the mosquito and are secreted through its saliva to infect other potential hosts when bitten.

Once inside a human host, they can spend a protracted period (from weeks or months to, potentially, years) inside the liver before eventually reproducing in the blood (specifically, within the red blood cells).

The rain, humidity, and heat of the tropics (and subtropics) make these areas prime spots for the disease Malaria. Mosquitos in Asia, Africa, and tropical parts of Central and South America are the main transmitters of this disease.

It is caused by Anopheles mosquitoes, they live in the tropical and subtropical regions of the world.

Malaria is a parasite that moves through your body after you have been bitten from the mosquito that carries this disease.

Malaria can also be passed from person to person.
