  • Description:
    Traveling? make sure you protect yourself from malaria [Portuguese]

    A malária é uma doença grave e às vezes fatal causada por um parasita que pode infectar um certo tipo de mosquito que se alimenta em humanos.

    Cerca de 1.500 casos de malária são diagnosticados nos Estados Unidos a cada ano. Quase todos envolvem viajantes

    e imigrantes que retornam de partes do mundo nas quais a transmissão da malária ocorre, incluindo a África subsaariana e o sul da Ásia.

    A Organização Mundial de Saúde estima que em 2010 houve 216 milhões de casos de malária e que 655.000 pessoas morreram de malária, a maioria delas crianças africanas.
