It is very widespread. Malaria is one of the leading causes of death worldwide, especially in poor countries.
The most common disease was "Roman" malaria, a particularly virulent form on malaria. Typhoid was also common.
That is the most tricky question, the contributor have ever answered. Hat's off for this question! Malaria is not water borne, as per definiion of the water born diseases. But then the vector of malaria is mosquieto. Moquieto is water borne.
No. There is insufficient stagnant water for the malaria-carrying mosquitoes to reproduce.
No I don't think you can because there is water shortage happening in Portugal and one of the main ways that mosquitos can carry malaria is when there are large amounts of water around. So it's highly unlikely to catch malaria in Portugal.
yes it does
in rainy season malaria is more common because mosquito get enough water for breeding
The female Anopheles mosquito, carries the Malaria parasite from one victim to the next, infecting them all.
many jamestown colonists became sick from malaria and from the drinking water
Malaria thrives in warm, humid climates, primarily in tropical and subtropical regions where temperatures are consistently above 20°C (68°F). It requires stagnant or slow-moving water for the breeding of its vector, the Anopheles mosquito. Additionally, the presence of susceptible human populations is crucial for the transmission of the parasite, Plasmodium, which is responsible for the disease. High rainfall and poor drainage can further enhance the conditions for malaria transmission.
