About Malaria

Malaria is caused by a parasite. The parasite spreads to people through bites from infected mosquitoes.

Infection can cause mild to severe disease. Most people recover from malaria if it is diagnosed and treated quickly.

There are 5 species of Plasmodium parasites that cause malaria. Infection with one particular species, Plasmodium falciparum, is more likely to cause severe illness or death unless treated quickly.
