Malaria FAQs
Malaria is a serious disease caused by a parasite that infects a certain type of mosquito. The disease is transmitted through mosquito bites of an infected mosquito. Symptoms include fever, chills, and flu-like illness. While malaria can be fatal if untreated, it can be treated by antimalaria drugs.
Malaria is especially common in Africa, south of the Sahara Desert, and in parts of South Asia, Central America, and South America. If you are traveling to any of these regions, you may be at risk. Check with the CDC to determine if malaria is prevalent in the area you will be traveling to.
