Yes it will. Rising temperatures allow mosquitoes to survive at higher altitudes, potentially bringing them to regions that lack population immunity. In addition, the transmission period for vector-borne diseases is increased with expanded warm seasons. (Source: World Health Organization)

What are the nursing intervention of malaria?
Nursing Care Planning and Goals Prevent infection. Reduce increase in and regain normal body temperature. Improve tissue perfusion. Improve fluid volume of the body.
How climate change will affect malaria?
As the earth warms, malaria-carrying mosquitoes are able to move further from the equator into countries that previously were too cold for them to survive. This is already happening. The chances are that the incidences of malaria will increase.
What is symbiotic relationship between malaria and mosquitoes?

If malaria were eliminated how might the frequency of the sickle-cell allele change over time?
Since people with the sickle cell allele trait are resistent to malaria, if malaria were eliminated there would be no change in the frequncy of sickle cell allele. This is because the presense of malaria does not have an affect on patients with the sickle cell allele trait.
What the treatment for malaria?
The treatment for malaria depends with the type of malaria. There are two types of malaria: mild malaria and severe malaria. The severe malaria requires intravenous (IV) drug treatment and fluids in the hospital while mild malaria requires oral medication.
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.
Does a virus causes malaria?
Virus does not cause malaria. Malaria is caused by a protozoa from the genus Plasmodium.
Which organ does the disease malaria affects?
yes, it does. the parasites actually get in there it sounds like, and can kill liver cells. Yes. That is the main focus on Malaria. When the parasites are injected into the bloodstream by the Anopheles mosquitos the pathogens use the blood stream to flow straight to the liver. This is where the parasites will begin to attack the red blood cells. The liver cells more or less go with it.
