Is Malaria curable

Answer 1

malaria is an entirely preventable disease, and many people (over half a million per year) die needlessly from it.

Malaria is transmitted by the bite of the female mosquito. The parasite enters the body via the mosquito's saliva and proliferates throughout the bloodstream. There are many ways in which this can be prevented.

1) Don't get bitten. It seems obvious, but this is actually a serious point. Many people, especially in rural areas of sub-Saharan Africa are massiely ill-informed about malaria. By using a combination of insecticide and malaria nets (known as vector control), the mosquito is less able to bite and the infection less able to spread. Only around 30% of households in sub-Saharan Africa currently have mosquito nets..

2) Antimalarial drugs are available. Quinine, the first antimalarial, is still a widely used drug. Analogues such as chloroquine and mefloquine are also commonly used. A problem with these sort of drugs is that many malarial parasites have evolved to become immune. Drug development to find different analogues which do not invoke an immune response is currently occurring.

The main reason that people die from malaria is that they do not have the education to seek preventative measures, or the money or resources to seek treatment. Malaria is nowhere near as prolific in the Western world where treatments are available and people are well-educated on the dangers.

So yes. It's preventable.
