  • What is Malaria?

With my own research I have to put it this way that Malaria is a disease which are caused by parasites and it is being transmitted to humans through the bites of an infected female Anopheles mosquitoes. The parasites that is being transferred to the human blood vessels are responsible for malaria. So malaria are mostly spread through the bite of an infected mosquito.

  • What are the three symptoms of malaria explain it.

They are a lot of symptoms of malaria in the body and those symptoms always appear between 10 to 15 days after the infected mosquitoe bite.
Some of the symptoms include:-

Malaria is very common in Africa, once the mosquitoes inject the parasite to the bloodstream we may not feel alright after few weeks to a month but some experience it yearly. Federal government in Nigeria doing their best by distributing well treated mosquitoes net to the citizens to protect them against harmful diseases but most people misuse this opportunity, government expected them to hang this net and sleep inside rather than using it to cover their farm so that goats should not go to their farm and eat their vegetables they planted while others use this net for soccer goal and fishing net. All these are very common in Nigeria. If citizens use this mosquitoes net in the right way we may not be able to have high number of mortality rate cause by malaria.
