Malaria is an infection which you get from bites from an insect called a mosquito. The infection lives in your red blood cells making them feel sick and die. Your red blood cells are important as they give your whole body all the food water and energy it needs to stay big and strong. With all your sick red blood cells dying, you will start to feel poorly.

A bit patronising for an 11 year old but i think it would do for 8-10s.
