Malaria

Diseases are not there without any advantage. You do not understand the importance of health without diseases. Infectious diseases keep your immune system, intact.

Some misquitoes in parts of the world give people malaria.

mainly, you catch malaria from mosquitos that have been infected. they are infected by laying eggs and being born out of dirty water

Yes. Malaria is caused by a type of parasite of the genus Plasmodium. These parasites are very small with a complex life cycle. When an infected mosquito bites you, the parasites get into your blood stream and head for your liver to continue development. Then they infect your blood cells to develop into adult parasites, splitting open the red blood cells to escape. It is this cyclical infection and rupturing of the blood cells that causes the characteristic peaks of high fever in people with malaria. When these infected people are bitten by mosquitoes, it starts the life cycle all over.

The parasites enter the body by way of a cut or via the eyes or mouth

There are four known causative agents for malaria, but they all belong to the genus Plasmodium.

No. Malaria is an animal disease that affects humans and is caused by a protozoan parasite, therefore in the biological kingdom, Protista, and not Fungi. It is spread by certain types of mosquito.

The symboitic relationship between Plasmodium and humans is Parasitic because if someone suffers from malaria, their immune system will become weak. The malaria parasite destroys the immune system, causing no harm to itself.

Malaria is one of the most common diseases on earth, and affects 10% of the worlds population, with over 300,000 new cases each year. In addition, the complex life cycle of the apicomplexan Plasmodium (the causative agent of malaria) makes it difficult to develop a vaccine against the disease because it involves transmission between several hosts.

If you mean long ago, they didn't have antibiotics or vaccines so they had to treat the symptoms. This means to give something to bring down the fever, etc. Both malaria and yellow fever are carried by mosquitoes. That meant protecting people from them by draining standing water and using mosquito nets. Now there are vaccines for yellow fever and malaria.

Malaria is a potentially fatal blood disease caused by a parasite that is transmitted to human and animal hosts by the Anopheles mosquito. The human parasite, Plasmodium falciparum, is dangerous not only be cause it digests the red blood cell's hemoglobin, but also because it changes the adhesive properties of the cell it inhabits. This change in turn causes the cell to stick to the walls of blood vessels. It becomes especially dangerous when the infected blood cells stick to the capillaries in the brain, obstructing blood flow, a condition called cerebral malaria. Scientists using the x-ray microscope are hoping to learn more about the how the parasite infects and disrupts the blood cells and the blood vessels of an infected host.

As of right now there is no malaria vaccine.

From there parents or other people in the family tree. The Doctors realize it until later reactions occur.

YES

Depends on where "here" is and where the soldiers served. In areas like Macedonia, Gallipoli, Africa and India, soldiers dropped like flies. About 7 out of every 1000 American soldiers, based in the US came down with malaria.

In 1918, over 25,000 British soldiers were sent home with chronic malaria. This means they were plagued with it for the rest of their lives.

It originates from the Italian mala aria meaning "bad air."

Malaria does not attack your eye balls. Your eye balls are affected by the drug for malaria. Chloroquine is a very toxic drug. It affects power of accommodation of your eye balls. Some times the patient goes blind temporarily. He needs to be carried to toilet by family member for few days.

Malaria is a disease brought about by a msquitoe as a vector of the virus. The Malaria Falciparum strain particularly exhibits Cerebral malaria where the neurologic functions are affected in the person. The symptoms usually include febrile seizures, changes in consciousness and paralysis.
This typically happens in Plasmodium falciparum infection. When the malaria advances, the parasites affect the red blood cells on large scale. These infected red blood cells clog the capillaries of brain. So the blood supply of he brain is adversely affected and patient goes in coma. This condition is called as cerebral malaria. You have to take it as a medical emergency. High mortality is associated with this condition.

1986 and malaria is a miskito that goes in your blood an you have to go to the hospital.

People with Malaria often have Jaundice because the destruction of the red blood cells that Malaria cause's can cause Jaundice.

Yes. They built their settlement/fort on a marsh, so there were many puddles in the marsh. Musquitoes tend to lay their eggs in water puddles. These bugs were everywhere. They carried a parasite/disease called malaria. There was no one to help these colonists infected because they brought people of the wrong occupations. Many died from this disease.

Malaria is a single-celled protozoan parasite and is not a bacterium. This means it does not have cell walls unlike bacteria. Penicillin and other beta-lactam antibiotics kill bacteria by stopping the repair and remodeling of the bacterial cell wall through inhibition of peptidoglycan synthesis, which is necessary to maintain the cell wall.

Other classes of antibiotics, particularly tetracyclines, however, can work against malaria because they target a function that is present in both bacteria and malaria parasites.

Mosquito is a vector for both the diseases. Anopheles mosquito spreads the malaria and culex mosquito spreads the dengue fever.

It will be hard to completely stop. Malaria is a preventable and treatable disease. The problem is that many parts of the world don't have the access to the necessary medication. It means many people die needlessly. So the way to reduce it is to get those medications to the people that need it.

The pathognomonic sign of malaria is stepladder like fever with chills. Some symptoms of malaria are chills, headache, fatigue and muscle-aches.

According to CDC, approximately 1,500â??2,000 cases of malaria are reported each year in the United States, almost all in recent travelers. Reported malaria cases reached a 40-year high of 1,925 in 2011.
