Why a person having malarial parasite does not shows symptoms of disease?

Some peoples (ie tribes/families) who have lived in malaria infested regions have developed a natural partial immunity to the parasite (by a process of natural selection and evolution) such people may be infected by the parasite but do not develop full blown malaria because their immune system keeps the parasite in check.Note, the danger in this is that such people act as the source of malaria affecting others. The mosquito has to bite someone with malaria FIRST then go on to bite a SECOND person. This gives malaria to the SECOND person. Obviously people carrying the malaria parasite but not ill do not go and get treated for malaria (have the parasite in their bodies killed). They therefore act as a hidden reservoir for infection.


When the malaria parasite is transferred to the blood from a mosquito bite what organ does the parasite first infect?

A female Anopheles mosquito carrying the malaria-causing parasites bites a human and injects the parasites in the form of sporozoites into the bloodstream. The sporozoites travel to the liver and then invade the liver cells. These mature into schizonts, which rupture and release merozoites. This form of the malaria parasite invades red blood cells.

Is there a vaccine for giardia?

Yes, you can, though it helps if you're already healthy. In fact, according to Medicine for Mountaineering, most people develop a resistance to it after their first exposure; but because there are many other bacteria and viruses that produce similar reactions as Giardia, it often takes the blame for it. "If the disease remains untreated, the body may adjust to the parasite, and virtually no symptoms will remain. Studies indicate that as many as 10% of Americans may carry the parasite at all times."


What do recurring dreams about parasite infestation of my body mean?

Two possible meanings for this dream come to mind. The first is that the dreamer should be tested for an actual parasitic infection, because conditions in the body can influence one's dreams. The more likely possibility would be that the "parasite" represents some person who is behaving in a parasitic manner, taking advantage of the dreamer in real life.
