The cyclical pattern of malaria symptoms (fever, chills, fever, chills) is due to the time-regulated bursting of merozoites from red blood cells. The merozoites (a stage in the malaria parasite's development), burst from red blood cells in a cyclical pattern at a time which is specific to the species of malaria parasite. The fever is the body's immune response to the sudden high concentration of merozoites in the bloodstream. The chills are due to the invasion of new red blood cells by the merozoites.
A person suffering from malaria has those parasites entering into his RBCs by breaking the cells.Since several parasites are involved in the invasion there is a greater destruction of the RBCs which produces shivering
A fever (such as from malaria) that is marked by paroxysms of chills, fever, and sweating recurring regular intervals. Also a fit of shivering, a chill.
Ague: A fever (such as from malaria) that is marked by paroxysms of chills, fever, and sweating recurring regular intervals. Also a fit of shivering, a chill. Hence, ague can refer to both chills and fevers.
My Dad had black malaria during WW II, while working for National Catholic War Relief Services in Tanzania, near Arusha. My Mom says he was in a coma for a while. She does not remember how long, but he was hospitalized for two weeks or so. Supposedly, the worst malaria you can get. Chills, shivering, and high fever.

Malaria is caused by a parasite called as plasmodium. It is a protozoa. There are four species which causes malaria commonly. They are plasmodium falciparum, Plasmodium vivax, Plasmodium ovale and plasmodium malariae. Out of which plasmodium falciparum is most dangerous. almost 500 million cases of malaria occur in the world. Most of them in tropical countries.
Shivering is the body's way of generating heat in response to cold temperatures. It involves rapid, involuntary muscle contractions that increase metabolic activity, producing warmth. This response helps maintain core body temperature and protect vital organs from the effects of hypothermia. Additionally, shivering can occur as a reaction to fever, assisting in regulating body temperature during illness.
Malaria is primarily found in tropical and subtropical regions, particularly in parts of Africa, Southeast Asia, and South America. Countries with significant malaria transmission include Nigeria, India, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and Brazil. Factors such as climate, humidity, and the presence of mosquito vectors contribute to the prevalence of malaria in these areas. Efforts to control and eliminate malaria are ongoing in many affected regions.
