Answer: Egypt
Notes: Egypt was officially declared malaria-free by the World Health Organization (WHO). Malaria is caused by Plasmodium parasites, spread through the bites of infected female Anopheles mosquitoes. It is life-threatening but not contagious and mainly found in tropical regions. Five parasite species cause malaria, with Plasmodium falciparum and Plasmodium vivax being the most dangerous. Symptoms like fever, headache, and chills start 10–15 days after the mosquito bite. Some people in malaria-endemic areas may be infected but show no symptoms. Vector control is the key method for preventing malaria and reducing transmission.
