Quick Summary:

Malaria is a life-threatening, infectious disease caused by a protozoa (unicellular microorganism belonging to the genus Plasmodium). There are 4 types of protozoan parasites, which cause the condition in humans
It is spread by mosquitoes (specifically by the female Anopheles mosquito) to humans and others animals. Malaria is very prominent during rainy seasons, since mosquitoes breed in larger numbers, during this season
The intensity of the disease is dependent on the Plasmodium type that infects, the health status of the individual, the transmission vector, and the environment
Malaria is normally diagnosed using a blood test, and prescription anti-malarial medications form the usual line of treatment
