Where Could Malaria Be Caught?

Answer Question

1 Answer - Sort by: Date | Rating

    Malaria is quite a general disease in sub-tropical and tropical countries.  In a more specific regard, malaria is most likely to be caused in the forested parts of Central and South America, central Africa, the whole of Asia and the southern part of Europe.  The simple reason behind this factor of likeliness is the level of humidity in the atmosphere and the warm, marshy, stagnant pools of water, two ideal factors for the female anopheles mosquito for the prospect of  breeding.  Moreover this type of mosquito, if bites a person, is most likely to transfer the disease.  

    In the literal sense, malaria derives its name from the Italian language, the word coming under the interpretation of 'evil air'.  Just as the name suggests, malaria causes chills, fevers, and anaemia and sometimes becomes fatal to a monumental extent, if not given the right remedy and care.  In India, a large number of people die from Malaria every single year.
