Malaria is caused by a parasite transmitted by Anopheles mosquitoes, while Dengue is caused by a virus spread through Aedes mosquitoes. Both cause fever and body aches but require different treatments.
The RTS,S malaria vaccine is available in some regions. A Dengue vaccine (Dengvaxia) exists but is limited to those with previous infection.
Mild cases can be managed with hydration and fever control, but severe cases require hospitalization and close monitoring.
Use insect repellents, wear long-sleeved clothing, sleep under mosquito nets, and eliminate stagnant water sources to reduce mosquito breeding.
