understanding.

Malaria is a mosquito-borne infectious disease that affects humans and other animals. Its

symptoms include fever, tiredness, vomiting, and headache. In severe cases, it can

cause seizures, coma or death. Symptoms usually begin ten to fifteen days after being bitten

by an infected mosquito. If not properly treated, people may have recurrences of the disease

months later. In those who have recently survived an infection, reinfection usually causes

milder symptoms. This partial resistance disappears over months to years if the person has

no continuing exposure to malaria. Malaria is caused by a protozoa. The mosquito bite

introduces the parasites from the mosquito's saliva into a person's blood. The parasites travel

to the liver where they mature and reproduce. The disease is widespread in

the tropical and subtropical regions that exist in a broad band around the equator.
