Malaria remains one of the most widespread mosquito-borne diseases in the world. Although modern medicine has improved survival rates, malaria still affects millions of people every year, especially in tropical and subtropical regions. Understanding malaria symptoms, malaria treatment, and malaria prevention is important for travelers, healthcare workers, and communities living in high-risk areas.
Malaria is caused by parasites that spread through the bites of infected female Anopheles mosquitoes. Once the parasites enter the bloodstream, they travel to the liver and later infect red blood cells, leading to fever and other serious health complications.
