Solution

The correct descriptions of malaria are:

  • It can be diagnosed by viewing parasites in blood.

Malaria is not always fatal, especially when diagnosed and treated promptly. Also, the illness does not always occur within one week after being bitten by an infected mosquito; it can take up to a month or more for symptoms to appear.
