What is Understanding Malaria: Causes and Risks about?
Malaria is caused by a parasite called Plasmodium which is transmitted via the bites of infected female Anopheles mosquitoes. Symptoms include fever, headache, chills and vomiting which can lead to death within 24 hours if untreated. While treatable with antimalarial drugs like Chloroquine and Quinine, around 3.2 million people remain at risk, especially in developing parts of Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Middle East where access to medical treatment can be limited.
