10 FACTS YOU DID NOT KNOW ABOUT
MALARIA
:


1 ) Half of the world’s population is at risk
of contracting malaria.

2 ) In 2012 alone, there were
approximately 207 million cases of malaria
reported, causing an estimated 627,000
malaria-related deaths.

3 ) 90% of malaria-related deaths occur in
Africa. Malaria kills more children in Africa
than any other disease, resulting in one
death every minute.

4 ) Pregnant women and their newborns
are particularly vulnerable to malaria. In
Africa, there are up to 200,000 newborn
deaths each year as a result of malaria in
pregnancy.

5 ) Malaria is spread through bites from
infected mosquitoes. The infected
mosquitoes thrive in moist temperatures
and breed in water.

6 ) Symptoms of malaria appear 10-15
days after someone has been bit by an
infected mosquito.

7 ) Human immunity developed over years
of exposure can prevent malaria. For this
reason, most malaria deaths occur in
children who have low immunity.

8 ) Without access to medication, the
impact of the infection can include: coma,
brain damage, loss of muscle function and
death.

9 ) Long-lasting anti-malaria bed nets are
the most effective and inexpensive way
to prevent the transmission of malaria.

10 ) One bed net can protect 2 people for
up to 3 years.
