    About Malaria:

    • Malaria spreads only by the disease-carrying mosquitoes.
    • The vector of malaria is the female anopheles mosquito.
    • Malaria spreads only when a female mosquito that has bitten a malaria patient bites another person.
    • A blood test is done to check if a person has malaria or not.
    • People with malaria get a fever with chills, sweating, headache, nausea and rigours.
    • Malaria is caused by protozoan Plasmodium.
    • In early times, the dried and powdered bark of the Cinchona tree was used to make medicine for malaria.

    • Now tablets are made from this in the form of quinine, chloroquine is given to patients.
