Malaria is an infectious disease caused by the parasitic plasmodium protozoan parasite. This disease is transmitted through female Anopheles sp mosquito bites. Anopheles mosquito breeding sites can be in the form of fresh water or salt water, ponds that are overgrown with aquatic plants or those that do not plant, rice fields, river mouths where the flow is not swift and small pools filled with rainwater.
