CDC : Malaria
www.cdc.gov/malaria/
Malaria is a mosquito-borne disease caused by a parasite. People with malaria often experience fever, chills, and flu-like illness. Left untreated, they may develop severe complications and die. Each year 350-500 million cases of malaria occur worldwide, and over one million people die, most of them young children in Africa south of the Sahara.

Malaria is a leading cause of death and disease worldwide. In Africa, a child dies from malaria every 30 seconds.
