 * Transmitted by mosquitoes
 * Tropical climates
 * Chills, fever, enlarged spleen
 * 300 to 500 million in Africa, India, S.E. Asia, Middle East, South Pacific, Central and South America
 * The majority of the average 2 million deaths per year occur in Africa
 * Malaria is caused by a parasite from the plasmodium family
 * The mosquito draws blood from a human and injects parasite containing saliva
 * The parasites reproduce in the liver, and then circulate through the bloodstream
 * Symptoms:
 * Uncontrollable shivering
 * temperature rises to 106 degrees F
 * sweat a lot = temp. drops
 * severe headache, nausea, vomitting, sleeping a lot

 * diagnosis:
 * blood test, examine symptoms
 * can be treated with drugs such as quinine
