Why can being carrier of the disorder be an advantage in countries where there's a lot of malaria?
Being a carrier of certain genetic disorders, such as sickle cell trait, can provide a survival advantage in malaria-endemic regions. The presence of the sickle cell trait offers some protection against severe forms of malaria, as the malaria parasite has a harder time surviving in sickled red blood cells. This selective advantage allows carriers to have a better chance of surviving and reproducing in areas where malaria is prevalent, leading to a higher frequency of the trait in those populations.

Who is the carrier of malaria?
The primary carrier of malaria is the female Anopheles mosquito. When it bites an infected person, it takes in the malaria parasites, which can then be transmitted to another person through subsequent bites. Malaria is caused by Plasmodium parasites, with Plasmodium falciparum being the most deadly species. Effective prevention and control measures focus on reducing mosquito populations and preventing bites.
