What conditions does malaria need to thrive?

malaria thrives in warm, humid climates, primarily in tropical and subtropical regions where temperatures are consistently above 20°C (68°F). It requires stagnant or slow-moving water for the breeding of its vector, the Anopheles mosquito. Additionally, the presence of susceptible human populations is crucial for the transmission of the parasite, Plasmodium, which is responsible for the disease. High rainfall and poor drainage can further enhance the conditions for malaria transmission.
