Malaria Quiz: How Well Do You Know the Prevention Steps?

Malaria is one of the world's oldest and deadliest diseases, and it is not viral or bacterial, but rather parasite-caused by the bite of a female Anopheles mosquito. It is prevalent in the tropics and subtropics but can visit anyone who travels there. The best news: malaria can be prevented and treated, provided travelers are responsible enough to protect themselves against it. There are so many myths such as "mosquitoes bite people the same" or "you will never get malaria if you're healthy." Test yourself, how right you are when it comes to the facts of malaria and prevention.
