Malaria is caused by a parasite called Plasmodium, which
is transmitted via the bites of infected mosquitoes. In the human body,
the parasites multiply in the liver, and then infect red blood
cells.Symptoms of malaria include fever, headache, and vomiting, and
usually appear between 10 and 15 days after the mosquito bite. If not
treated, malaria can quickly become life-threatening by disrupting the
blood supply to vital organs. In many parts of the world, the parasites
have developed resistance to a number of malaria medicines. World

Malaria is a
parasitic disease that involves high fevers, shaking chills, flu-like
symptoms, and anemia. Malaria is caused by a parasite that is
transmitted from one human to another by the bite of infected Anopheles
mosquitoes. In humans, the parasites (called sporozoites) travel to the
liver, where they mature and release another form, the merozoites.
These enter the bloodstream and infect the red blood cells. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
