Where does malaria occur?

Answer 1

It is usually in more tropical areas, and ones with out a lot of sanitation systems--do to it's spawning in stagnant water.

Answer 2

Malaria typically is found in warmer regions of the world -- in tropical and subtropical countries. Higher temperatures allow the Anopheles mosquito to thrive. Malaria parasites, which grow and develop inside the mosquito, need warmth to complete their growth before they are mature enough to be transmitted to humans. Malaria occurs in over 100 countries and territories. More than 40% of the world’s population is at risk. Large areas of Central and South America, Hispaniola (the Caribbean island that is divided between Haiti and the Dominican Republic), Africa, the Indian subcontinent, Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and Oceania are considered malaria-risk areas. Yet malaria does not occur in all warm climates. For example, economic development and public health efforts have eliminated malaria from the southern United States, southern Europe, Taiwan, Singapore, and all of the Caribbean islands (except Hispaniola). Some Pacific islands have no malaria because Anopheles mosquitoes are not found there.

Answer 3

Where Does Malaria Occur

Answer 4

Malaria most commonly is found in warmer regions of the world that have tropical and subtropical climates. Anopheles mosquitoes thrives in higher temperatures, and malaria parasites, which grow and develop inside mosquitoes, need warmth in order to grow to a maturity stage in which they can be transmitted to humans.

Malaria can occur in more than 100 countries and territories, putting more than 50% of the world's population at risk of contracting the disease. Large areas of Central and South America, Hispaniola (Haiti and the Dominican Republic), Africa, the Indian subcontinent, Southeast Asia, the Middle East and Oceania are considered malaria-risk areas.

However, malaria does not occur in all warm climates. For example, economic development and public health efforts have eliminated malaria from the Southern United States, Southern Europe, Taiwan, Singapore and all of the Caribbean islands (except Hispaniola). Some Pacific islands have no malaria because Anopheles mosquitoes are not found there.

The risk to travelers to places where malaria occurs varies depending on local weather conditions, the number of mosquitoes in the area and the traveler's itinerary, including the time and type of travel.

Wherever the female anophelous mosquitoes are there in plenty there the malaria occurs. They belong to genera called Plasmodium. P.vivax,P.falciparum,P.malariae are the causative agents of malaria.
