Colossal. Used to describe a series of calamitous events that occur over a short period of time, that are either intrinsically linked, completely random, or fall somewhere in the middle. Joey: Dude you won't believe what has just fuckin' happened to me over the last week!
Malaria is caused by a parasite called Plasmodium, which is transmitted via the bites of infected mosquitoes. In the human body, the parasites multiply in the liver, and then infect red blood cells. Usually, people get malaria by being bitten by an infective female Anopheles mosquito.
Malaria is transmitted among humans by female mosquitoes of the genus Anopheles. Female mosquitoes take blood meals to carry out egg production, and such blood meals are the link between the human and the mosquito hosts in the parasite life cycle.
