Fever and chills in malaria are caused by a pigment compound known as hemozoin, which is generally a by-product of the digestion of hemoglobin by malarial parasites.

Malaria is a contagious and sometimes life-threatening disease that is caused by a parasite known as plasmodium, transferred by a vector.

The female Anopheles mosquito works as a vector to transfer the parasite into the human body. When the parasites enter your body, they travel to the liver where they multiply. They possess the red blood cells in the liver and keep multiplying until the cell bursts. They digest the hemoglobin in the blood and form hemozoin.

Hemozoin is a necessary pigment for the survival of parasites and the removal of parasitic waste.

Common symptoms of malaria include fever, chills, and headache. These symptoms are generally caused due to release of parasitic waste through hemozoin. The medications prescribed for malaria inhibit the formation of hemozoin, thus preventing malaria.
