Malaria

Malaria: Reasons, Symptoms, and Avoidance
Plasmodium parasites, which infect Anopheles mosquitoes, create malaria, a life-threatening illness that can kill people. Once within the body, the parasites head to the liver, where they proliferate before attacking red blood cells.
Malaria commonly causes high fever, chills, sweating, headache, nausea, muscle aches, and tiredness. Severe consequences include organ failure, anaemia, and cerebral malaria, which could develop untreated and cause life-threatening illnesses.
Parts of Africa, Asia, and South America, as well as other tropical and subtropical areas, are more likely to be malaria carriers. Inadequate healthcare services, stagnant water, and poor sanitation contribute to its proliferation.
Control of malaria depends much on prevention. You can reduce mosquitoes by spraying indoors, using insecticide-coated bed nets, and wearing protective gear. Antimalarial drugs are also advised for visitors to high-risk areas.
Development of vaccines and awareness efforts stressing early detection and treatment help to fight malaria. Through research and healthcare projects, groups like the World Health Organisation (WHO) and the Global Fund actively seek to eradicate malaria.
Early identification and appropriate treatment can greatly lower malaria-related mortality, thereby enabling the potential global elimination of the disease.
