Plasmodium falciparum is the type of malaria that most often causes severe and life-threatening malaria
The difference between the two is that malaria is caused by a parasite and not a virus or bacteria. Bacteria are microorganisms that cause fever and diseases.
Malaria may cause anemia and jaundice (yellow coloring of the skin and eyes) because of the loss of red blood cells. If not promptly treated, the infection can become severe and may cause kidney failure, seizures, mental confusion, coma, and death.
Research is suggestive that neurologic defects may occasionally persist following cerebral malaria, especially in children. Such defects include trouble with movements (ataxia), palsies, speech difficulties, deafness, and blindness.
Use of chemical larvicides like abate in potable water and also use of mosquito repellant creams can help in preventing musquitos to an extent.
