It is an immune response that your body uses to try to kill the protozoa that cause malaria with excess heat. This is also why you get a fever with other types of Infectious Diseases, such as flu, strep throat, etc. Protozoa cause the infectious disease called malaria and are carried in certain types of female mosquitoes. When the mosquito bites, the protozoa are spread.
