A dangerous disease transmitted by the bite of a certain type of mosquito

Infection caused by a single cell parasite transmitted by the bite of an anopheles mosquito. Uncommon in the U.S., but often affects travelers or military personnel stationed in foreign countries.

an infective disease caused by protozoan apicomplexan parasite, Plasmodium (k. Protista); it involves both a vertebrate host and a blood-sucking insect and is transmitted through the bite of an infected Anopheles mosquito; marked by paroxysms of chills, cold and fever and sometimes flu.

a disease caused by parasitic protozoa that are transmitted by mosquitoes of the genus Anopheles

An acute and sometimes chronic infectious disease of the red blood cells. Malaria is transmitted to a human by the bite of an infected female Anopheles mosquito. The mosquito becomes infected by ingesting the blood of an infected human. Of the 1.8 billion persons at risk of malaria worldwide, there are an estimated 500 million clinical cases and nearly 3.5 million deaths each year. It is therefore one of the most important infectious diseases in the world. There is no vaccine for malaria.

A disease transmitted by mosquitoes that causes periodic severe attacks of chills and fever, thought at one time to be caused by miasma (Italian [1740], from mala aria, bad air)

a parasitic disease spread by mosquitos that causes chills and fever; potentially fatal complications in the liver, kidneys, blood, and brain are possible

An infectious disease caused by the presence of parasitic protozoa in the red blood cells. The disease is transmitted via blood-sucking, female Anopheles mosquitoes and is confined to tropical and subtropical areas. It is the most prevalent and devastating parasitic disease to afflict the human race.

a disease of the blood that is spread by mosquitoes, which breed by still water. People who are infected usually have recurring bouts of chills, fever and sweating, often accompanied by vomiting and diarrhoea. Medicines exist to treat malaria and to help prevent it. Other control measures include mosquito nets and other barriers such as draining stagnant water and insecticides. Malaria is one of the leading causes of death in the under-14 age group.

An infectious disease of the tropics characterized by high fever and chills. The fever typically recurs every third day. Some forms of malaria can be fatal.

a recurrent disease transmitted by mosquitoes, causing fever and chills.

a human disease that is caused by the bite of an anopheline mosquito

a serious disease, resulting from the bite of an infected mosquito, which causes repeated high fever and headaches and may cause death

an infectious disease endemic to parts of Africa, Asia, Central and South America that is spread by the bite of an infected anopheline mosquito. It is characterized by high fever, shaking chills, sweating, and anemia.

a tropical parasitic disease that kills more people than any other communicable disease except tuberculosis is reemerging in areas that had controlled or eradicated the disease, namely the Central Asian Republics of Tajikistan and Azerbaijan, and in Korea. The emergence of multi-drug resistant parasitic strains has also caused the resurgence of this disease. Malaria is transmitted through the bite of an anopheles mosquito, and if promptly diagnosed and adequately treated, is curable. Symptoms include high fever, severe chills, enlarged spleen, repeated vomiting, anemia and jaundice. Malaria endemic countries are some of the world's poorest. Anti-malarial drugs work, but most of these countries can't afford them. Controlling the mosquito would be the best line of defense, through personal means - insect repellent, household areas, and community population methods - insecticides and environmental control.

in humans, the set of feverous diseases caused by infection by the protozoans Plasmodium vivax, P. malariae and P. falciparum. The organisms are transmitted by the female Anopheles mosquito.

endemic or epidemic parasitic disease caused by species of the genus Plasmodium (protozoa) and transmitted by mosquitoes of the genus Auopheles; produces high fever attacks and systemic disorders, and kills ~2 million people every year

An illness caused by the bite of a parasite carrying mosquito. It causes intermittent and violent fevers which can lead to death.

A disease caused by a parasitic protozoan transferred to the human bloodstream by a mosquito.

An infectious disease caused by protozoan parasites from the Plasmodium family that can be transmitted by the sting of the Anopheles mosquito or by a contaminated needle or transfusion. Falciparum malaria is the most deadly type. See the entire definition of Malaria

Malaria” is a parasitic disease that is transmitted by the Anopheles mosquito found in 90 tropical and sub-tropical countries and causing flu-like symptoms, such as fever, chills, headache, and muscle ache after an incubation period of one week or more after being bitten.

An infectious disease caused by a protozoan infection of red blood cells characterized by cycles of chills, fever, and sweating. The protozoan is transmitted to humans by the bite of an infected female anopheles mosquito. ( 6-14)

a disease caused by a parasite that is transmitted person-to-person by the bite of an infected Anopheles mosquito. These mosquitoes are present in the tropics and subtropics in almost all countries. Malaria is the most deadly of all tropical parasitic diseases.

Transmitted by mosquitoes, malaria is characterized by extreme exhaustion associated with paroxysms of high fever

An infectious disease caused by parasitic microorganisms called plasmodia. Malaria can be spread among humans through the sting of certain types of mosquitos (Anopheles) or by a contaminated needle or transfusion. Malaria is a major health problem in the tropics and subtropics, affecting over 200 million people world wide.

A life-threatening parasitic disease transmitted by mosquitoes, which affects millions of people throughout the world.

An infectious disease characterized by cycles of chills, fever, and sweating, caused by a parasite transmitted by a host mosquito.

A serious, sometimes fatal disease that is caused by a parasite and spread by infected mosquitoes. It causes fatigue, high fever, sweating, shaking chills, and anemia. Malaria is common in parts of Asia, Africa, Central and South America, the Pacific islands, and areas of the Caribbean.

An infection caused by the protozoan parasite Plasmodium and transmitted by an infected anopheline mosquito. P. falciparum, the most widespread and dangerous of the four species of malaria, can, if left untreated, lead to fatal cerebral malaria. There are 300-500 million new cases and 1-2 million deaths from malaria each year. Over 90% of cases occur in sub-Saharan Africa. Malaria strikes mostly poor and rural communities, and targets primarily children, pregnant women and refugees. Treatment depends on resistance – first-line usually chloroquine or sulfadoxine + pyrimethamine; second-line treatment with mefloquine, quinine, artemether or a combination of these.

a disease of the red blood cells caused by the protozoan Plasmodium which is carried by the anopheles mosquito (or from contaminated blood or hypodermic needles); produces chills, fever, anemia, and sometimes death

Malaria is a vector-borne infectious disease that is widespread in tropical and subtropical regions. It infects between 300 and 500 million people every year and causes between one and three million deaths annually, mostly among young children in Sub-Saharan Africa. Malaria is not just a disease commonly associated with poverty, but is also a cause of poverty and a major hindrance to economic development.
