Malaria malaria disease is a disease caused by a parasite, and it is transmitted to people by the bite of mosquitoes with infection. People with malaria are usually very tired with high temperature and chills accompanied by a dryness, according to “Mayo Clinic”. Although the disease is not common in moderate climates, malaria is still common in tropical and semi -tropical countries where about 290 million people are infected with malaria each year, and more than 400,000 people die from this disease. Global health programs spread preventative medicine and sleep (mosquitoes) treated with insecticides to protect people from mosquito bites and reduce the spread of malaria infection. The World Health Organization has recommended that children in countries with a high infection rate with malaria vaccine vaccination vaccinate. It is noteworthy that protective clothing, mosquitoes and pesticides can protect people while traveling. Preventive medication before the trip can also be taken to a high -risk area during and after the trip, knowing that many malaria parasites have developed their resistance to medicine that is frequently used to treat this disease. Symptoms of malaria according to the World Health Organization are the first most common symptoms of malaria fever, headache and tremor. Symptoms usually begin within a 10 -day and 15 days period after the bite is exposed to a mosquito that has an infection. These symptoms may be soft in some people, especially among those who have infected infection in the previous malaria.
