Why are children under 5 and pregnant women particularly susceptible to malaria?

However, if a child survives and is bitten repeatedly by infected mosquitoes they gradually build up some resistance to the malaria parasite. The older, stronger child has a much better chance of fighting the disease and not dying. Generally speaking, the consequences of severe malaria include coma and death if untreated.
