Malaria is a mosquito-borne infectious disease of humans and other animals caused by eukaryotic protists (a type of microorganism) of the genus Plasmodium. The protists act as parasites within red blood cells, causing symptoms that typically include fever and headache, in severe cases progressing to coma or death. The disease is widespread in tropical and subtropical regions in a broad band around the equator, including much of Sub-Saharan Africa, Asia, and the Americas.
Five species of Plasmodium can infect and be transmitted by humans. Severe disease is largely caused by P. falciparum while the disease caused by P. vivax, P. ovale, and P. malariae is generally a milder form that is rarely fatal. The zoonotic species P. knowlesi, prevalent in Southeast Asia, causes malaria in macaques but can also cause severe infections in humans. Malaria is prevalent in tropical regions because of the significant amounts of rainfall, consistently high temperatures and high humidity, along with stagnant waters in which mosquito larvae readily mature, provide them with the environment they need for continuous breeding. Disease transmission can be reduced by preventing mosquito bites by distribution of mosquito nets and insect repellents, or with mosquito-control measures such as spraying insecticides and draining standing water.

A frequent keynote speaker at political conferences, Shah has lectured at universities and colleges across the country, including Columbia's Earth Institute, MIT, Harvard, Brown, Georgetown and elsewhere. Her writing on human rights, medicine, and politics have appeared in a range of magazines from Playboy, Salon, and Orion to The Progressive and Knight-Ridder.

Somewhere from another time
Asiatic death
Yellow fever bodies writhe
Sugar on my breath
Is this the final curtain
I don't believe what's happening
She hides behind a veil of tears
Plays upon my darkest fears yea
She's Malaria
She's Malaria
Swamp fever
Water black as mud
Strength fading
Demon hold
Hungry 4 my blood
So desperately I cling 2 life
Pain I know I must survive
Entity
I see the eyes I can't forget
Caught between this world and the next
Misery
She's Malaria
She's Malaria
She's Malaria

ich mach angst und ich mache spass
und du schaemst dich oft hinterher
doch heimlich willst du immer mehr
denn ich bin wie ein wildes tier
und ich wohne tief unten in dir
ganz egal wo du auch hingehst
ich bin immer dabei
einen moment lag passt du nicht auf
und dann bin ich frei
versuche mich zu fassen
du wuerdest mich gern hassen
versuche mich zu kriegen
doch du kannst mich nur lieben
du glaubst an die menschheit
ich breche das gesetz
du waerst gerne zaertlich
doch ich bin harter sex
ganz egal wo du auch hingehst
ich bin immer dabei
einen moment lag passt du nicht auf
In the dumb fat side
Of the heavy, sweaty black
Malaria night
You can tell the shit
From the essence of heaven
In the smash and grab
In the sharp attack
Dishonest night
You can say what you want
And somebody listen
There's laughter and glass
And perfume and flags
And kisses and trains
And roses and vaccine

Cybernetic rabies

you don't turn to run
when you just started to come
there will be a time I'm your only one
so you turn to run...
there will be a time we are only one
so many times, so many times
you say again and again
time must be right, time must be right
so many times, so many times
you say again and again and again
time must be right, time must be right
so many times, so many times
the moon is full and i don't really know where I am
stones change to human
it was ten past ten when the telephone rang
so many times, so many times, so many times
I don't pay your price, I can't pay your price
I can't pay your price, I don't pay your price
I have searched
The universe
So far have I traveled to be
Where you are
You you you
You love degredation
Declare your needs
You sweep my floor
The laundry that you do
You, you, you
You adore me and you serve me
You deserve me and you save me
You, you, you
How could I tell the truth
How could I ever tell you
That I was desperate
That it took a thousand tries
Until I found myself within your eyes
You, you, you
You love degredation
Declare your needs
You, you, you
You adore me and you serve me
You deserve me and you save me
How could I tell the truth
How could I ever tell you
That I was desperate
That it took a thousand tries
Until I found myself within your eyes
the shock in her eyes
words that echo my thoughts
your blood in my veins
a subhuman roar.
uh, trash me for my life
beyond this world that we despise
uh, you give me such a joy and I -
I kiss the darkest places
and you embrace me like a toy.
the shock in her eyes
rules that we do not need
your blood on my cheek
a subhuman roar.
uh, trash me for my pleasure
beyond this world that we despise
uh, you give me such a joy and I -
I kiss the darkest places
and you embrace me like a toy.
the shock in her eyes
words that we do despise
rules that we do not need
your blood on my cheek
my blood in your veins
