How is Malaria Spread?

Malaria is a serious infection that is spread by mosquitoes. If an infected mosquito bites your skin, the malaria parasite is able to enter the bloodstream and cause infection. It takes just 1 bite by an infected mosquito to get the infection, so it is important to know the risk of malaria in the country you are travelling to. You should also make sure you take anti-malaria medication if you need to, so you can make sure you’re protected.
