I believe the answer is:

malaria

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'disease' is the definition.
(malaria is a kind of health problem)

I cannot understand how the remainder of the clue works.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for malaria that I've seen before include "Fever disease transmitted by mosquitoes" , "Tropical disease" , "Fever-inducing disease" , "Am a liar (anag) - fever" , "Tropical fever" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
