Malaria
Malaria is a potentially fatal parasitic disease caused by a parasite of the genus Plasmodium and transmitted by mosquitoes of the genus Anopheles.
Of the five species that infect humans, Plasmodium falciparum is the one that causes the most severe cases. This disease is still very present despite the progress made in the fight against malaria: around 3.3 billion people are exposed to malaria and in 2015, an estimated 212 million cases of malaria were affected. origin of 429,000 deaths, mainly in children under 5 years old.
