Through the bites of infected female Anopheles mosquitoes, sometimes known as &#8220;malaria vectors,&#8221; the parasite can be transmitted to humans. A parasite is delivered into the bloodstream when a mosquito bites a person.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>There are several plasmodium parasite species, but did you know that only five of them may give people malaria? These include Plasmodium knowlesi, Plasmodium vivax, P. ovale, and Plasmodium malariae.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Acute febrile illness, malaria is. Typically, it takes between 10 and 15 days for symptoms to show up after a mosquito bite. Its initial signs include fever, headache, and cold sensation.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The use of insecticide-treated mosquito nets and indoor residual spraying is the main vector control measures used to prevent and limit the transmission of malaria.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Use insect repellents, such as cream, lotion, spray, etc., to prevent mosquito bites. Wear protective clothing that covers your arms and legs as well for this.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Malaria may be prevented and treated, and new initiatives are significantly lowering the disease&#8217;s impact in many regions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Today is <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/WorldMalariaDay?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#WorldMalariaDay<\/a><br> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Malaria?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Malaria<\/a> still kills 1\u20e3 child every 2\u20e3 minutes.<br>No children should die because they cannot access life-saving services to prevent, detect &amp; treat the disease.<br> <br>Reaching 0\u20e3 malaria is possible \u2013 Together we can <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/EndMalaria?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#EndMalaria<\/a><br> <br>\ud83d\udc49 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/fIpdhR47VS\">https:\/\/t.co\/fIpdhR47VS<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/2Q76up6Vra\">pic.twitter.com\/2Q76up6Vra<\/a><\/p>&mdash; World Health Organization (WHO) (@WHO) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/WHO\/status\/1386184985481187331?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">April 25, 2021<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-pale-ocean-gradient-background has-background\"><strong>World Mental Health Day- A Must Read<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-observe-world-malaria-day\">How to Observe World Malaria Day?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Below are some ways to observe the World Malaria Day:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Create Awareness- Education is crucial.
