Anemia, a serious clinical manifestation of malaria, is due to increased destruction of both infected and uninfected red cells due to membrane changes as well as ineffective RBC production.

What is one example of an effect a parasite has on a human?

One example of an effect a parasite can have on a human is the illness caused by the Plasmodium parasite, which leads to malaria. This disease can cause symptoms such as fever, chills, and flu-like illness, and if untreated, can result in severe complications or even death. Additionally, malaria can lead to anemia and respiratory distress due to the destruction of red blood cells. Prompt diagnosis and treatment are crucial to mitigate these effects.


What cell does malaria attack?

Malaria primarily attacks red blood cells (erythrocytes) in the human body. The parasite, specifically Plasmodium species, invades these cells after being transmitted by infected Anopheles mosquitoes. Inside the red blood cells, the parasites multiply, leading to their destruction and causing the clinical symptoms associated with malaria, such as fever and anemia.

What human system does malaria affect?

Malaria is caused by a parasite called Plasmodium, which is transmitted via the bites of infected mosquitoes. In the human body, the parasites multiply in the liver, and then infect red blood cells. I know one sickle cell trait and one normal red blood cell trait provides a natural defense against malaria. This has to do with the mutated sickle cell being immune to the malaria parasite. However two sickle cell traits are bad because they do not have enough hemoglobin.

What part of the human body is attacked by the malaria protist?

The malaria protist, primarily Plasmodium species, attacks red blood cells in the human body. After being transmitted through the bite of an infected mosquito, the parasites enter the bloodstream and invade the liver, where they multiply before entering and destroying red blood cells. This destruction leads to symptoms such as fever, chills, and anemia.
