What are the symptoms of malaria?

First of all, let us be clear – The transmission of malaria doesn’t occur from human to human, but in the majority of cases the disease is transmitted through the bite of an infected female Anopheles species mosquitoes. The symptoms of malaria usually develop within 10 days to 4 weeks, sometimes it may take months. The most common symptoms are: an itchy reaction at the spot of the mosquito bite, a fever, sweating, shivering, headaches, generalized flu symptoms.
