Malaria is caused by a single-celled Plasmodium parasite. It begins when a female mosquito bites a person with malaria. The mosquito ingests the blood that contains the malarial parasite. Once inside the mosquito, the parasite reproduces and multiplies. When the mosquito bites another person the parasite is injected into the body. Once inside the parasite migrates to the liver where it multiplies again. Typically the parasite reaches maturity in 1 to 3 weeks where it migrates to the red blood cells, eventually causing the red blood cells to rupture and symptoms to form in the infected person.
Symptoms include various stages
- Mild early symptoms occur in few days before major symptoms.
- Then comes the "cold" stage with fever, shaking, chills followed by the "hot" stage with high fever, headache, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, pain and delirium.
- The "sweating" stage has perspiration, a drop in body temperature, fatigue and prostration.
- Anemia is often present with pale complexion, tiredness, fatigue, pallor, tiredness, shortness of breath, chills and fever.
