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. Her television appearances include A&E and the BBC, and she's consulted on many documentary film projects, from the ABC to Channel 4 in the UK. Shah is a former writing fellow of The Nation Institute and the Puffin Foundation.

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
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
I'm living in a neon house
I'm living in avalanche road
I'm living in hangover city
I'm living in a neon house
I'm living in avalanche road
I'm living in hangover city
Whatever gets you acclimatised
Radiation and downcast eyes
Serious sight
We're looking for a wild machine
Cybernetic rabies
Syndication and sympathy
Might work for you but not for me
I love you best when it's all a mess
Will you lie for me cry for me
Die for me will you please
(Oh) never never never never
never never never say no
I'm living in a neon house
I'm living in avalanche road
I'm living in hangover city
I'm living in a neon house
I'm living in avalanche road
I'm living in hangover city
And all these unforseen things tumble down
I've got a love and it won't stop burning
And all these unforseen things tumble down
I've got a love and it won't stop burning
And all these unforseen things tumble down
I've got a love and it won't stop burning
And all these unforseen things tumble down
I've got a love and it won't stop burning
In the dumb fat side
Of the heavy sweaty black
Malaria night
You can say what you want
And somebody listen
Gonna say what I really want
(Come on say what you really want)
Gonna say what I really want
(Yeah say what you really want)
Wanna live with Halo Jones
Wanna home that's miles from home
Wanna drugs from the twighlight zone
Wanna never never never never
Never never never say no

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

and you embrace me like a toy.

your blood on my cheek
