Malaria parasites can be identified by examining under the microscope a drop of the patient's blood, spread out as a blood smear on a microscope slide.
Malaria is caused by parasites, not by a virus or by a type of bacterium.
Among the several complications, the effects of malaria seem to target the skeletal muscle system, leading to symptoms, such as muscle aches, muscle contractures, muscle fatigue, muscle pain, and muscle weakness.
Malaria is spread by the bite of an infected female Anopheles mosquito. Malaria may also be spread by transfusion of blood from infected people or by the use of contaminated needles or syringes.
It can cause splenomegaly because of immune system responses.
