Malaria
Malaria is a life-threatening disease caused by Plasmodium parasites, transmitted to humans through the bites of infected female Anopheles mosquitoes. Symptoms typically include fever, chills, headache, and muscle pain. Severe forms can lead to organ failure, seizures, and coma. Early diagnosis and prompt treatment are crucial for preventing severe disease and death. Prevention strategies include vector control and chemoprophylaxis in endemic areas.
