Purpose
Malaria is a potentially life-threatening infectious disease caused by Plasmodium parasites, which are transmitted to humans through the bites of infected female Anopheles mosquitoes. The disease can cause serious illness, with symptoms including high fever, chills, headaches, and flu-like symptoms.
