Malaria, a mosquito-borne disease caused by parasites, affects individuals globally. Factors influencing infection risk include living in or traveling to high-transmission areas, exposure to infected mosquitoes, lack of preventive measures, a weakened immune system, and pregnancy. To mitigate infection risk, one can use mosquito nets, apply insect repellent, wear protective clothing, take prescribed antimalarial medication, and avoid outdoor activities during peak mosquito hours. Common symptoms of malaria include fever, chills, headache, muscle aches, fatigue, and nausea. Manifesting within one to four weeks post-exposure, severe cases may lead to organ failure, seizures, and coma if untreated.

Treatment depends on severity and parasite type. Artemisinin-based combination therapies (ACTs) combat uncomplicated Plasmodium falciparum malaria, while Quinine addresses severe cases. Treatment duration varies, lasting weeks to ensure complete parasite elimination. Adherence to the prescribed course is crucial to prevent relapse or reinfection.
