Malaria

Mosquito gets malaria parasite from the patient of malaria. Once infected, mosquito will carry the disease for life time. When mosquito bites you, it injects an anaesthetic chemical in the body of the host. During this injection, it injects the malaria parasites, in the body of host.

Hippocrates, a physician born in ancient Greece was the first to describe manifestations of the disease and relate them to the time of year and area where the patients lived when contracting the disease. However, the discovery of the protozoal cause of malaria wasn't discovered until 1889 by Alphonse Laveran.

You can get malaria at any point, but if you have sicle cell disease you are more or less protected against it. Do you even know what it is because it's in completely the wrong section? It has nothing to do with pregnancy or sex, although if you are planning to sex in a swamp it is in the right place.

It is very common practice in developing countries to treat the typhoid fever as a case of malaria, specially in the first week. You tell patient that he has malaria. He does not respond to your antimalarial treatment. Then you have no option but to tell the patient that he has got both malaria and typhoid at the same time. The fact is that typhoid is usually difficult to diagnose in the first week of fever. It is always better to rule out the malarial fever by giving the antimalarial treatment in first week of febrile illness.

It affects the people of Africa because the hot weather is perfect for the survival of mosquitoes which spread the disease, and there is little treatment available in many places as little education. Also people can't afford prevention methods such as repellent or nets.

People with a sickle-cell gene are resistant, but not immune, to malaria. African people, who were greatly exposed to malaria, were more likely to survive malaria with sickle-cell genes, so the survivors passed it on to their children. Not all African people have sickle-cell genes.

There are a few different things that one can do to try and prevent malaria. There are medications that one can take to prevent malaria although some of these are becoming resistant to the disease. One should also wear mosquito repellent and try to avoid areas that are close to standing water where mosquitoes tend to frequent.

Sickle cell anemia cause red blood cells to be shaped like sickles. malaria can't enter these cells which gives the person an immunity to malaria.

Malaria is caused by a parasite called Plasmodium, which is transmitted via the bites of infected mosquitoes. In the human body, the parasites multiply in the liver, and then infect red blood cells.

I know one sickle cell trait and one normal red blood cell trait provides a natural defense against malaria. This has to do with the mutated sickle cell being immune to the malaria parasite. However two sickle cell traits are bad because they do not have enough hemoglobin.

The causative microorganism for malaria is a protozoa. The name of that protozoa is Plasmodium.

sporozoa

well i would advice you to:

>maintain cleanliness of the surroundings /Clean your surroundings as much as possible.

>drink alot of water

>eat alot of vitamin c such as orange and eat also alot of vegetable

>proper hygiene

> consult a doctor

Yes.Is transmitted from person to person through a vector.

quinine

That species is called as Plasmodium falciparum. This species causes the most deadly infection of malaria. It is responsible for most of the deaths attributed to malaria.

If the patient has P. vivax, P ovale, P. malariae, or has been in an area where there is no chloroquine resistance in P. falciparum, chloroquine is the best drug to use to treat malaria.

If the patient is infected with P. vivax or P. ovale, primaquine needs to be given as well. This drug is able to kill the liver stages of the parasites, unlike chloroquine. If primaquine is not used, the chloroquine will cure the acute attack, but the dormant liver stages will be able to cause recurrences in the future.

In cases where chloroquine resistant P. falciparum is suspected, either quinine, mefloquine, halofantrine or the artemesinins can be used. Parasites that are resistant to mefloquine are also often resistant to halofantrine. Mefloquine is also not licensed for use as treatment in South Africa. Halofantrine has been associated with cardiac side effects, and should not be used for routine treatment. Quinine was the first drug used to successfully treat malaria, and with increasing chloroquine resistance, it is making something of a "comeback". It is thought to be the best available agent for treating complicated chloroquine resistant falciparum malaria. Unfortunately, resistance to this drug is also being described.

A new class of drug is the artemesinin derivatives. This drug has been known for centuries in China and is derived from the wormwood plant. It shows great potential in being able to treat resistant falciparum malaria, and has been used often in SE Asia. Unfortunately, resistance to this agent is also being described. When these drugs are used to treat malaria, they should be combined with a second agent to try and reduce the development of resistance.

female mosquitoes transmit malaria because they are the ones who actually suck blood,males do not. The blood feeding is part of the females egg laying process and as such the males do not need to suck blood.

By what know I thought Mosquitos caused malaria? malaria is NOT transmitted through the air. it is a parasite in the bloodstream and is transmitted by mosquitos which have bitten a malaria sufferer..

Kenya, Angola, Zimbabwe and many more like Egypt and Afghanistan

There is currently no malaria vaccine, but it has been years in the making and is now close to being licensed. In the meantime, there are many medications to remedy malaria.
