Description
Malaria is the deadliest parasitic disease on the planet, and the Plasmodium parasite - transmitted by mosquitoes - is responsible for it. Every year, this disease infects 200,000,000 people and kills around 500,000-600,000 of them.

The Goo of the underground spheres offers the perfect breeding ground for the mosquitoes transmitting the disease. Test subjects need to take extreme precaution when solving the test.

FAQ:
Q: How do I download this?
A: Press the green 'Subscribe' button with the plus sign beside it. It'll download to your Portal 2 workshop maps folder. After that, load Portal 2, go to 'Play Community Test Chambers', 'Play Single Player Chambers' and find 'Malaria'. Click it and click play.

Q: How long did you make this?
A: An hour.

Q: How did you make this level?
A: Portal 2 Puzzle Creator.

Q: Etymology of the level name?
A: "Malaria" is a parasitic disease caused by the Plasmodium parasite. This disease was featured on the documentary "Monsters Inside Me". So yeah. Also, ALittleBrownBat named it! So give him props!

Q: If this is a PTI map, how did you make the thumbnail a custom one instead of the Puzzle Creator view or the view after entering the chamber?
A: Rebuild and look at the console. Check what is the name of the latest screenshot taken after you enter the chamber. Pause Portal 2 and go to the screenshots folder in Portal 2/portal2/screenshots and replace the latest screenshot with your custom one. Go back to Portal 2 and publish it. There you go.

No need for walking with the lasercube while pointing the laser at the catcher, no need for angled lasers through portals. It's quite simple actually. Just like the comment from 5 Dec 2015 said. You really only need so shoot a portal where the laser is (as high as you can), and one cube respawn. The rest is just thinking with portals and some cube juggling.

Great test. Fairly easy, got a little unsure a the end, but I luckily did the right decision.
I also had the problem of the laser beam being slightly too high, luckily I could put the cube on top of the small elevation thing and the problem was fixed.

Neato, either cube at the end works :P

Great puzzle

This was a nice test! Almost got me stuck because I placed the portal too low on the laser, hehe. Thanks for making it!

That last reflective cube exploit was tricky.

It didn't take me much time to solve this one but it was fun all the way. I put my orange portal where the laser is and didn't have to place another orange portal anywhere else which made the whole thing much simpler than it looks. Thumbs up!

It's really a pretty amazing map, many layers.
My solution involved several cube respawns and even pointing a laser through a portal. I used one trick leared in "Designed For Danger" in which I redirected a laser to a catcher, then fizzled the redirection cube so that the laser now hits a different cube and redirects the laser to a different catcher.

Great job!

Wow, that was difficult. I think my solution works in the end without doing what Innocentive did.

Were we supposed to do what Innocentive (the guy with the spoilers in case he changed his name) did? That's what I had to do. Is there a solution video?
