One bite from an infected mosquito is all it takes...
Each year, up to 2,000 travellers from Britain return home with some form of malaria. Untreated, it can be fatal - on average nine people every year die from malaria in this country.
The UK is, amazingly, one of the biggest importers of malaria among civilised countries, and yet it only takes a few simple steps to stop it happening at all.
The most severe form of malaria is Plasmodium Falciparum, which left untreated can be deadly as the mosquito's poison works its way into the bloodstream. Prevention though, is so very simple.
