Malaria is neither a viral or a bacterial disease.
Malaria is caused by the Plasmodium parasite. The parasite is spread to humans through the bites of infected mosquitoes.
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.
Malaria is the world's most important parasitic disease transmitted from one person to another through the bite of female Anopheles mosquitoes, which breed in fresh or occasionally brackish water.
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.
