Malaria is caused by the Plasmodium parasite. The parasite is spread to humans through the bites of infected mosquitoes.
For most people, symptoms begin 10 days to after infection, although a person may feel ill as early as 7 to 9 days.
In Malaria, fever tends to have a cyclic pattern, occurring in episodes every 24 to 72 hours, depending on the type of malaria parasite involved. It can also cause anemia and an enlarged spleen. In the case of viral fever, the fever often known as febrile viral disease, is a widespread health risk that affects people of all ages.
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.
Use of chemical larvicides like abate in potable water and also use of mosquito repellant creams can help in preventing musquitos to an extent.
