Malaria is spread
by the female mosquito. This mosquito carries a tiny parasite. When
a person is bitten by the mosquito a parasite enters their bloodstream.
After a few days the infected person will become very ill and fevered. Malaria
affects around 300 million people - most of them in developing countries.
One million people die from the disease every year.17 In five years that would
amount to the population of Scotland!
