How malaria first started?
-Unknown- Malaria has been infecting humans for at least 50,000 years, and may have existed as a pathogen in other species for even longer. For this reason it is impossible to know where the first cases of malaria appeared. While the earliest references to a malaria-like illness come from China, that is by no means an indication that malaria originated in Asia.
Does the human body respond to malaria?
Yes. Human body respond to malaria.Body tries to kill the malaria parasite by high grade fever. By the way the syphilis causing bacteria is killed by this high temperature. Body forms the humeral antibodies against the malaria parasites. There is enlargement of liver and spleen. Spleen can enlarge enormously.
What does malaria do to the host?
Malaria is a disease which involves a parasitic organism (a type of paramecium) that lives inside mosquitoes for part of its life-cycle and inside human beings for another part of its life-cycle; it is the mosquitoes and the human beings which are serving as host organisms to the parasite. So no, malaria is not a host.
Why is it good to kill mosquitoes to control malaria?
Malaria is in fact a plasmodium parasite. These are microscopic organisms called protist. Malaria is an extremely infectious, or communicable, disease. It destroys the red blood cells in your body as they are the reproduction factories of the parasite.Malaria is a very dangerous disease, killing between one and three million people a year, mostly children. Most Malaria cases, however, occur in sub-Saharan Africa.The malaria parasite is spread by the Anopheles Mosquito, which is the only mospuito that can transmit the disease. The Anopheles Mosquito is one of the targets of spraying, along with other mosqitos, mainly ones carrying the West Nile virus.
Can all types of malaria kill?
No all types of malaria do not kill only plasmodium falciparum can kill a person if you do not get cured or treated.
In the life cycle of the mosquito at what stage they can easily terminated?
When the female mosquito pricks the skin and sucks up some blood a parasite enters the body and grows within the red blood cells. This is the Malaria parasite and it is this disease that needs to be tackled not necessarily the anopheles mosquito itself. Break the parasite cycle from the host and malaria will disappear. One avenue of research is to kill the parasite in the infected body or render the mosquito infertile by releasing infertile males into their breeding areas. It is extremely difficult to do other wise it would have been achieved already.
What is the goal for malaria?

Can malaria kill someone?

Did malaria kill settlers in Jamestown?
Yes. They built their settlement/fort on a marsh, so there were many puddles in the marsh. Musquitoes tend to lay their eggs in water puddles. These bugs were everywhere. They carried a parasite/disease called malaria. There was no one to help these colonists infected because they brought people of the wrong occupations. Many died from this disease.
