Malaria

How Malaria is Spread

Malaria starts when a female anopheles mosquito injects a human with the disease. Then, the malaria parasite enters the blood stream to the liver, where they develop even more. In about a week, the parasite moves from the liver back into the bloodstream. After it gets into the bloodstream, the many parasites it made in the liver infect red blood cells,which then multiply even more, and this continues. After the person is infected, if a non-infected mosquito infects the person, it will get the disease, then spreading to even more people.
