Malaria is treated with prescription drugs to kill the parasite. It is prevented by applying mosquito-repellant creams and avoiding areas that are prone to malaria infection zones.
You may experience fever and flu-like illness, including shaking chills, headache, muscle aches, and tiredness. Nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea may also occur.
For most people, symptoms begin 10 days to after infection, although a person may feel ill as early as 7 to 9 days.
A few similar symptoms of malaria and dengue are pain behind the eyes, nausea and rashes.
Malaria is caused by a single-cell parasite called Plasmodium. The parasite infects female mosquitoes when they feed on an infected person's blood. Once in the mosquito's midgut, the parasites multiply and migrate to the salivary glands, ready to infect a new person when the mosquito next bites.
