Definition of swamp fever

swamp fevernoun

sốt đầm lầy

/ˈswɒmp fiːvə(r)//ˈswɑːmp fiːvər/

The name "swamp fever" was given due to the prevalence of the disease in low-lying, marshy areas with standing water, which provided a breeding ground for mosquitoes. The symptoms of malaria include fever, chills, headache, fatigue, and body aches, which can be severe and debilitating. Although mosquito control measures, such as draining standing water and using insecticides, have greatly reduced the spread of malaria in developed countries, it remains a major global health concern in tropical and subtropical regions, with an estimated 229 million cases and 409,000 deaths in 2019 alone.
