Malaria

Malaria is a disease caused by a parasite that is transmitted to humans through the bites of infected mosquitoes.
It is a leading cause of death in many countries, particularly in Africa.
Malaria causes fever, headache, and vomiting. Malaria is often deadly.
Malaria is preventable with mosquito nets and insecticides. The nets can be lifesaving and should be used in areas where the disease is present.
Malaria is curable with drugs.
