Malaria

descibe the steps involved in biological method taking malaria as an example

The female is the only mosquito that sucks blood Only the female is capable of drinking blood, an act called haematophagy. Females do not require blood to survive, but they need supplements, such as protein and iron, to enable them to develop and lay their eggs. The female Mosquitoes do not actually "bite". They will actually pierce the skin with their sharp proboscis, injecting a mild painkiller as they do so, to numb the pain, and will then proceed to suck the host's blood.

when female anopheles mosquito take a blood meal from a host with malaria, the mosquitoe took the malaria bacteria's gametes with the blood meal. the gamestes fused together in the mosquitoe's gut forming the infected stage. if the mosquito then bit a non infected human host, the infected stage of the bacteria will enter the bloodstream vai the salivary gland of the mosquito.

yes for sure.. specially during rainy season

False. The 1918 Spanish Flu was caused by an influenza virus and became a serious pandemic that killed millions world wide. Malaria is caused by eukaryotic protists of the genus Plasmodium, a different type of infectious agent than a virus like the flu. Malaria is transmitted by mosquitoes.

The Spanish Flu lasted approximately one year in 1918 - 1919. It was a very deadly pandemic during WW1 and is estimated to have killed between 25 and 50 million people world wide in that short time period, perhaps the worst human infectious disease toll in all of recorded history. The plague in the middle ages killed 8 to 13 million, for comparison. It may have influenced the outcome of some battles in WWI since it was taking a heavy toll on military men from all parts of the world.

Infected female Anopheles mosquito

It is almost always called malaria. I think some old names include fever n ague

because there are different number of species with different effects that they can cause, therefore it is harder to develop a vaccine for it

Yes. Human body respond to malaria.Body tries to kill the malaria parasite by high grade fever. By the way the syphilis causing bacteria is killed by this high temperature. Body forms the humeral antibodies against the malaria parasites. There is enlargement of liver and spleen. Spleen can enlarge enormously.

Every year 300-700million people get malaria annually and about 1-2million people die annually

A microorganism called Plasmodium falciparum (a parasitic protist) causes the most common strand of the disease. There are other variants in Asian and southern American countries that cause similar symptoms and are caused by closely related species of the genus Plasmodium.

The parasitic protist infects people through the bite of a mosquito, and therefore the mosquito acts as a vector, carrying the disease without actually causing it. The mosquito species vary in different locations but the relationship is quite specific i.e., each mosquito carries its own strain of Plasmodium.

Malaria is caused by the bite of a female mosquito. Female mosquitoes are silent, so they are not easy to spot. When a female mosquito bites an infected person, a little bit of blood is taken, which contains malaria parasites. These parasites will develop in the mosquito, and after about a week or so, when the mosquito bites once more, the person bitten will be injected with the parasites via the mosquitoes saliva. After a while, malaria will start to come, leading to headaches and fever and sometimes coma or death.

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.
