<\/span>Introduction<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\nMalaria is one of the most dreaded diseases. It is widespread across more than 90 countries, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa, South Asia, and regions of South America. It occurs when the malaria parasite, Plasmodium, infects the female mosquito, Anopheles ^{1<\/sup><\/a>. When the malaria mosquito bites humans, within a period of 10 to 15 days, the malaria symptoms start to occur}^{2<\/sup><\/a>.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n}
Malaria symptoms vary depending on the subspecies of the Plasmodium that has infected the Anopheles mosquito. Based on the malarial parasite involved, there are four different types of malaria. Each of these types have a different severity of symptoms and needs to be treated differently.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In this blog, we will discuss in detail about malaria; its type, symptoms and treatment. These will help you better understand this infection and know when to act promptly.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Plasmodium Vivax (P.v)<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
This is the most common kind of malaria. It is the most widely distributed kind, found all across the globe. More than half of malaria infections found across India are of this type. It may be present in dormant stages and its presence can lead to recurrent episodes of the disease.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
More often than not, it does not prove fatal but can be severely debilitating. Common symptoms of this kind of malarial disease include fever and chills, diarrhoea, severe fatigue and flu-like symptoms ^{3<\/sup><\/a>.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>}
