How is malaria spread in humans?
Malarial disease is spread by the bite of a mosquito. It is caused by a virus called Plasmodium consciences. When the female anaphilis bites an infected person of the mosquito, the part of this virus is transferred to the body of the mosquito. After this, when this mosquito bites a healthy person, the virus is transferred to the body of that person.
After this, person also becomes infected with malaria. The biggest cause of malaria is dirt. Due to the dirt around, mosquitoes grow there, after which they bite humans and infect them with malaria.
