Malaria is a disease caused by the bites of infected mosquitoes and is caused by the Plasmodium parasite. Symptoms generally include fever, fatigue, headache, and vomiting. In severe cases, malaria may lead to jaundice, seizures, coma, or death. Each year, approximately 290 million people are infected with malaria, and more than 400,000 people die from the disease.
