824 Questions
Is malaria communicable or non-communicable?
Malaria is a vector based disease and is considered highly communicable, meaning it can be spread, though not easily from human to human.
a vector is an organism that does not cause disease itself but which spreads infection by conveying pathogens from one host to another.
How can the scientific method help in solving malaria problems?
it help alot otherwise the world would finish till now from disease of malaria
Can you get malaria from smoking?
Malaria is an infectious and parasitic disease that is generally spread through mosquitoes, which is why it would be unusual (if at all possible) to hear of a case of malaria spread through smoking or tobacco use.
How does malaria stain for gram and endospore and capsule and acid fast?
Gram staining protozoans yield variable results. Endospore, capsule, and AF stains will yield different results, as these stains are use on bacteria. Malaria is caused by a protozoan.
How is malaria injected in human body?
Human gets malaria after bite of the infected female anopheles mosquito. Mosquito inject the saliva to anesthetize the site of bite and at the same time inject the parasite in the body of the victim.
Is there Malaria in the Seychelles?
No there is no Malaria in Seychelles, though we do inoculate against it, especially if visiting any African countries known to have it
Where in the world are the most cases of Malaria and Sickle Cell anaemia?
Malaria is common in topical ad subtropical zones. The malaria has selected the people with sickle cell anaemia. Although person with sickle cell anemia can have malaria, the carrier, or the person with sickle cell trait is resistant to malaria.
Anopheles mosquitoes are the carriers of B. timori
What 2 things the governments had done to slow the disease malaria?
they have gotten rid of the most areas where water piles up, such as bird baths, ponds, and other water sources that. This helps because this is where the mosquitos "hang out" and lay their eggs. If we all get rid of our places where water can pile up, malaria will be controlled in a better way! (not lakes, and ponds.) TRY THIS! if you have a swimming pool in your yard, cover it up when not in use! hope i helped save several lives!
Why are human important to the life cycle of malaria paasites?
Humans are a crucial part of the life cycle of malaria parasites, specifically the Plasmodium species. The parasites are transmitted to humans through the bite of infected female Anopheles mosquitoes, where they multiply and develop within the human bloodstream. This stage is essential for the parasite's reproduction, as it allows them to complete their life cycle and eventually return to mosquitoes when they feed on infected human blood. Without humans, the malaria parasites would be unable to propagate and sustain their existence.
How many people die from malaria in malawi a year?
There haven't been any reported deaths of malaria in Mexico since at least 2010, according to the World Health Organization. Mexico however, had 824 confirmed cases of malaria during 2012, which were succesfully treated.
What is the difference between malaria and aids?
Malaria is a mosquito-borne infectious disease caused by parasites of the Plasmodium species, leading to symptoms like fever, chills, and flu-like illness. In contrast, AIDS (Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome) is the advanced stage of HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) infection, which attacks the immune system, making individuals vulnerable to opportunistic infections and certain cancers. While malaria is primarily transmitted through vector bites, HIV is spread through direct contact with infected bodily fluids. Both diseases pose significant health challenges, but they differ in their causes, transmission methods, and treatment approaches.
