Fatal Disease Malaria. Content Warning.
Introduction Malaria is an infectious disease spread by mosquitoes that affects both people and other animals. Serious malaria can strike some people more easily than others. Pregnant women, children under the age of 5, people with HIV/AIDS, and infants and young children are at high risk. Additional vulnerable populations include migrants, mobile populations, and travelers who enter areas with high rates of malaria transmission and who have not developed partial immunity from repeated exposure to the disease or who are not receiving chemo preventive medications. In places where malaria is common, some people will develop a partial immunity. Partial immunity never offers full protection, but it lowers the possibility that a malaria infection would result in serious illness. WHO presents all relevant information on Malaria Questions and answers? Malaria is a life-threatening disease primarily found in tropical countries the majority of malaria deaths in Africa therefore affect young children, whereas in regions with low immunity and limited transmission, all age groups are at danger. The risk of malaria is greatest in sub-Saharan Africa, where six nations—Nigeria (26.8%), the Democratic Republic of the Congo (12%), Uganda (5.4%), Mozambique (4.2%), Angola (3.4%), and Burkina Faso (3.4%)—accounted for more than half of all malaria deaths globally in 2020.
