where does malaria affect
Malaria is a parasite that lives inside your red blood cells, and once it gets inside, it grows and multiples for about 2 days and 16-32 new malaria parasites are made. These new malaria parasites then burst out of the red blood cell, destroying it, and then the malaria can find more red blood cells to infect. And then this cycle continues every two days, infect, multiply, burst out, find a new cell, infectâ¦. Thereâs a video of malaria here http://youtu.be/_OIY-M6GnCU (the red cell bit starts is at about 2:40, and 3:20 is when the parasites burst out of the red blood cells).
