Bacterial infection: Causes, symptoms, treatment, and prevention.

George Williams

Malaria is a potentially deadly infectious disease caused by a parasite called Plasmodium, which is transmitted to humans through the bites of infected female Anopheles mosquitoes. The disease is prevalent in many tropical and subtropical regions, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa, but it also occurs in parts of Asia, South America, and the Middle East. The symptoms of malaria typically appear 10-15 days after infection and include fever, chills, headache, and flu-like symptoms. In severe cases, the disease can progress rapidly, leading to complications such as anaemia, respiratory distress, and organ failure. Children under five year are old, pregnant.
