Malaria is a life-threatening disease caused by parasites that are transmitted to humans through the bites of infected female Anopheles mosquitoes. It is most prevalent in tropical and subtropical regions of the world, particularly in parts of sub-Saharan Africa, South Asia, and South America. The disease manifests with symptoms that include fever, headache, chills, and vomiting, which typically appear between 10 to 15 days after the infective mosquito bite. If not treated promptly and correctly, malaria can progress to severe illness and death. The disease is preventable and curable with the use of mosquito control measures and antimalarial medications. Efforts to control malaria include preventive drug treatments, the use of insecticide-treated bed nets, and indoor spraying with insecticides. Despite significant global health efforts to eradicate it, malaria remains a major public health challenge, affecting millions of people and causing hundreds of thousands of deaths annually.
