World Malaria Day History

World Malaria Day seeks to raise awareness about malaria, one of the world’s deadliest diseases. Malaria is a disease of the blood that is caused by a parasite called Plasmodium. This parasite lives within the female anopheles mosquito. It is the only mosquito capable of transmitting malaria and it is found primarily in tropical areas. It is found particularly in sub-Saharan Africa. This day aims to educate and inform people about malaria to help minimize the spread and prevent infections. According to malarianomore.org, this female mosquito primarily bites between the hours of 9:00 pm and 5:00 am.

World Malaria Day was established in 2007 by the World Health Organization. It is observed annually on April 25.
