Malaria
Malaria, caused by the eukaryotic parasite Plasmodium and transmitted through mosquito bites, is a major source of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Severe cases can cause organ failure, blood anomalies, and metabolic abnormalities, which may lead to death, and individuals can experience relapses years after recovery. The disease poses a significant public health and economic burden in endemic regions.
