Quickly: Often within hours after the mosquito injects plasmodia into you, fever and chills and diffuse muscle aches and malaise may develop, depending upon the species with which you are infected. Subsequently the initial random fevers and chills assume a regular pattern of every third or fourth day, you become anemic and may have mental changes (all species related).

Fever chills fatigue: Malaria symptoms show up a week to a few months after being infected by a mosquito bite. Fevers, chills, head ache, fatigue, swelling of the spleen, etc... usually occur. With medical treatment, the symptoms should go away in a couple of weeks. However, without treatment, and depending on the strain of malaria parasite, an infected person can have symptoms for a few years, up to a few decades.
