What Are the Different Modes of Malaria Transmission?
Malaria is a serious and sometimes life-threatening disease prevalent in humid and tropical regions of the world. Caused by parasitic infection, malaria is often treatable and preventable, but many die of the condition each year. According to statistics by the World Health Organization, 2008 saw almost a million deaths as a result of the condition. Understanding malaria transmission is a major part of limiting the infection’s ability to spread; in almost all cases, malaria transmission is the result of bites from infected mosquitoes.
