• Malaria is known as a parasitic disease, whose vector is the female Anopheles mosquito. The female Anopheles mosquito discharges a parasitic organism, known as Plasmodium Falciparum, that destroys the host’s red blood cells and can potentially cause complications such as brain infections, anemia, liver failure, and so forth.

• The program known as Mobilize Against is a project in which private agencies “mobilize” themselves in helping malaria-infected citizen of Ghana. They provide low-income citizens with medication and netting to combat the malaria infection and decrease the growth of it.

• Me: “ Was there anyone you knew who contracted Malaria? If so, what symptoms did they complain of?”

• Interviewee: “A friend of mine from back home (Ghana) said was complaining about the infection. So did my baby brother, Eric. Eric said that he figured he contracted Malaria, although it was diagnosed by a doctor at first. He went to the doctor to confirm and it turned out he had Malaria. In fact, recently, I knew of a girl I’m in contact with in Ghana who was experiencing shivering, dark urine, and so forth.”
