What else can I help you with?
Does malaria exist in Palestine?
No. There is insufficient stagnant water for the malaria-carrying mosquitoes to reproduce.
How often do malaria parasites living in an infected person reproduce?
About 100-230 times
The malaria causing protists plasmodium infects cells of the?
The cells of the host's liver, spleen and the erythrocytes in the blood (where they reproduce).
Can Thalassemia prevent Malaria?
Thalassemia itself does not prevent malaria, but individuals with thalassemia trait or certain forms of thalassemia may have a degree of protection against severe malaria due to the altered shape and function of their red blood cells. This change can make it more difficult for the malaria parasite to survive and reproduce. Consequently, while thalassemia does not prevent malaria infection, it can potentially reduce the severity of the disease in affected individuals.
What is malaria actually caused by?
Malaria is the infectious disease caused by the microorganism Plasmodium, a parasitic protozoan, that is carried in the saliva of the female Anopheles mosquito. When bitten by this mosquito, the microorganism is injected into the victim, where they travel via the circulatory system to the liver where they mature and reproduce.
Do protozoa need a host to reproduce?
Protozoa can reproduce both sexually and asexually, and whether they need a host depends on the species. Many protozoa, such as those that cause diseases (e.g., Plasmodium, which causes malaria), require a host to complete their life cycle and reproduce. However, free-living protozoa can reproduce independently in their environment without a host.
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.
How does a mosquito act as a vector for malaria parasites?
Malaria is transmitted by the bite of an infected female Anopheles mosquito. This bite introduces the parasites from the mosquito's saliva into a person's blood. The parasites then travel to the liver where they mature and reproduce.
Does a virus causes malaria?
Virus does not cause malaria. Malaria is caused by a protozoa from the genus Plasmodium.
Does yeast cause malaria?
Yeast does not causes malaria. Malaria is caused by protozoa.
Does South Africa suffer of malaria?
Yes, 3.73 million on average have malaria. Any country where mosquitos with the malaria virus are, you get malaria.
Does ciliates cause malaria?
The ciliates do not cause malaria. Malaria is caused by protozoa. They have pseudopodia.
