Malaria is a serious parasite infection that is transmitted by the bite of female mosquitoes. The parasites are microscopic and found in the blood of infected people. There are different types of malaria parasite although the infection they cause is similar. 'Falciparum' malaria causes the most severe infection.
Symptoms of malaria:
- usually include a high temperature (fever) accompanied by shivering and sweating
- are often described as 'flu-like' and can be accompanied by a variety of other symptoms, such as muscle aches, headache or vomiting
- can be vague, especially in children who may simply be 'out of sorts'
