Malaria is a mosquito-borne parasitic disease that can cause serious illness and death. It is caused by a parasite called Plasmodium and is transmitted through the bite of infected female Anopheles mosquitoes.

Symptoms can range from mild fever, chills, and headache to severe complications like cerebral malaria, leading to seizures, coma, and death.
