How is malaria transmitted to someone else?
malaria is transmitted to someone else if another mosquito sucks the blood of somebody that is infected. after the mosquito goes to bite another person and sends the infectious disease to that person
A person gets malaria from the bite of an infected female mosquito. The female Anopheles mosquitoes feed on the human blood to obtain protein they need to develop their eggs. The mosquito bite injects young forms of the malaria parasite into the person's blood. The parasites travel through the person's bloodstream to the liver, where they grow to their next stage of development. In 6 to 9 days, the parasites leave the liver and enter the bloodstream again. They invade the red blood cells, finish growing, and begin to multiply quickly. The number of parasites increases until the red blood cells burst, releasing thousands of parasites into the person's bloodstream. The parasites attack other red blood cells, and the cycle of infection continues, causing the common signs and symptoms of malaria.
When a non-infected mosquito bites an infected person, the mosquito sucks up parasites from the person's blood. The mosquito is then infected with the malaria parasites. The parasites go through several stages of growth in the mosquito. When the mosquito bites someone else, that person will become infected with malaria parasites, and the cycle will begin again.
Malaria parasites can also be transmitted by transfusion of blood from an infected person or by the use of needles or syringes contaminated with the blood of an infected person.

Malaria can also affect the kidneys and brain by blocking the blood supply to these organs, when the cells of the liver and red blood cells burst.

How long can you live with malaria untreated?
Some forms of malaria can cause death rapidly, following on from the incubation period of 2-4 weeks.
P. flaciparum malaria can manifest as cerebral malaria, and cause death in as few as 2 hours. Otherwise, falciparum will cause death in about a week or so.
Other forms of malaria (vivax, oval) follow less progressive courses, and otherwise health adults may not die from the disease.
The person who is infected should also be considered, with death more likely to occur in small, malnourished children than in healthy people. Iron deficiency may also have a protective influence on those in endemic areas. The effects of malaria may also be reduced in those people who have sickle cell disease, or sickle cell trait.
