How can you treat typhoid dengue malaria together?
It is very common practice in developing countries to treat the typhoid fever as a case of malaria, specially in the first week. You tell patient that he has malaria. He does not respond to your antimalarial treatment. Then you have no option but to tell the patient that he has got both malaria and typhoid at the same time. The fact is that typhoid is usually difficult to diagnose in the first week of fever. It is always better to rule out the malarial fever by giving the antimalarial treatment in first week of febrile illness.

What are the similarities of a tapeworm and malaria?
In both the diseases, fever may start with slow onset. Patients suffering from both of them complain of headache. Patients suffering from both will have mild spenomegaly at some stage of fever. ( Usually at the end of week.) Both fevers have leucopenia in peripheral smear. Fever will never rise above 104 degree Fahrenheit in typhoid fever. And patient of typhoid fever will get 'toxic' in about 7 days of fever. At 104 degree Fahrenheit temperature he will need assistance of two persons to go to toilet as against patient of malarial fever. Patient of malarial fever can walk to longer distance without assistance. The experienced doctor can tell from the face of the patient that he is suffering from typhoid fever or not.
Where do malarial mosquitoes thrive?
in mainly tropical areas
Is a malarial parasite a single celled organism?
Yes.
Is an infectious disease hereditary?
Infectious diseases are not hereditary. But there may be hereditary resistance or susceptibility to infectious diseases. Say for example sickel cell trait patients are genetically resistant to malarial fever. While sickel cell anemia is susceptible to malarial fever. Some people will not get AIDS, through they are carriers of HIV infection. Some people living in tropical zone will not get malarial fever and they are genetically reasistant to malarial fever.

Do primates have sickle cell anemia?
That is very interesting question, indeed. Your concern for the primates needs appreciation. The answer to this question is probably positive. Sickle cell anaemia is a natural selection in malaria endemic zone. The sickle cell trait patient is genetically resistant to malarial fever. So many primates suffer from malarial fever. From this finding you can say that sickle cell anaemia should be present in primates, who live in tropical countries.
Which blood components are attacked by malarial parasites?
red blood cells
