An expository essay on malaria

The parasite causes a deadly infection which kills many people each parasite that causes malaria is a protozoan called 'plasmodium'. Bacteria are smaller and simpler than usually get malaria from the anopheles or culex mosquitoes: they are the vectors of the disease. This makes the person have the disease we call the female mosquito gives people malaria, because only the female mosquito consumes blood. The female uses blood as a source of protein for its people do not get malaria from mosquitoes. Another way people can catch malaria is by using a needle that someone with the disease used before them. Humans, after being bitten by an infected mosquito the malaria parasites first infects the liver. At this stage their are no red blood cells are infected next, at this stage symptoms of malaria an uninfected mosquito bites an infected human they become infected and continue the a infected red blood zed electron micrograph of red blood cell infected with malaria parasites (blue). Credit: niaid/ are several species (kinds) of plasmodium that cause malaria in humans:Plasmodium falciparum[2]. Falciparum malaria is the worst kind, and kills the most plasmodium enters the blood, they are then called sporozoites. It makes people sicker than those with other types of malaria, because there are more of them in the blood. If blood vessels are blocked, this can hurt what the blood vessel brings blood to, and can hurt people's is affected by malaria[change | change source]. Malaria is in these places:Asia (mostly in india, the middle east, and southeast asia). This is a normal evolutionary process: the chemicals weed out the non-resistant organisms, and the offspring of the few resistant organisms and symptoms of malaria[change | change source].

Most people who get malaria get symptoms 10–30 days after they get infected (the plasmodium gets in their blood. But some people can get symptoms after only a week, and some may be infected with malaria and not have symptoms for a most common symptom of malaria is fever, when the body temperature is high. The people who have malaria often feel like they had ms of malaria are:Arthralgia (pain in joints). When these organs become enlarged it may cause pain in the right upper quadrant of the cations from malaria[change | change source]. Falciparum malaria has the most cations of cations of malaria are:Cerebral malaria (brain malaria). Falciparum in the , many seizures, or long no treatment is given, death often if treatment is given, 15%-20% of people with it es (if only one seizure happens it is not cerebral malaria). In the case of malaria one of the main symptoms which may lead to a clinical diagnosis of malaria is a clinical diagnosis of malaria should be confirmed by a trained professional based upon laboratory results as soon as it is possible. Malaria rapid diagnostic test is a blood test which can confirm a diagnosis of malaria in about twenty minutes. Rdts are not foolproof and have a number of drawbacks, and as such a negative rapid diagnostic test should not be accepted at face-value and follow-up with malaria microscopy is a microscopy[change | change source]. The map shows areas in se asia where the drug mefloquine no longer with different kinds of malaria need different medicines. So it is very important to know which species of plasmodium the person the species is not known, the person should be given medicine and care like they have falciparum malaria – the worst is also important to know where the person got malaria. So the medicines to treat malaria in africa are different from the medicines to treat malaria from south ent of malaria other than falciparum[change | change source]. So people have to be tested to see if they have g6pd-deficiency before they take ent of falciparum malaria[change | change source].

People with falciparum malaria should be treated in a hospital if they are:Having malaria for the first able to take medicines by people who are treated with medicines at home should stay with the doctor for 8 hours. Malaria does not start to become a life-threatning disease until it has been a couple of weeks after the bite without being arum malaria also has more resistance to medicines. These are man-made pesticides similar to the natural pesticide pyrethrum, made by chrysanthemum are three ways to prevent malaria:Keep mosquitoes from medicine to keep from getting sick after a bite, especially in those parts of the world where people get l mosquitoes[change | change source]. Drainage ditches in les larvaethe anopheles mosquito lays eggs in stagnant control is one way to stop malaria. For malaria, the vector is the anopheles most used method of vector control is pesticides. Organophosphate or carbonate pesticides are used, like malathion or control is not the only way to stop malaria. In some places, ddt may be a useful part of a program to stop malaria. Mosquito that carries malaria comes more at dawn (when the sun comes up) and dusk (when the sun goes down. Many people in areas where there is malaria do not have the money to buy this who live where there is no malaria usually have not had malaria. So people from places where there is no malaria may take prophylactic medicines when they go to places where there is malaria. This is because not all medicines work on the malaria in every make them work best, prophylactic medicines have to be taken the right way. One medicine (malarone) only needs to be used for one week after coming ance to malaria[change | change source]. War two era was britain's sir ronald ross, working in the presidency general hospital in calcutta, who finally proved in 1898 that malaria is transmitted by mosquitoes.

He isolated malaria parasites from the salivary glands of mosquitoes that had fed on infected birds. After resigning from the indian medical service, ross worked at the newly established liverpool school of tropical medicine and directed malaria-control efforts in egypt, panama, greece and mauritius. This public-health work saved the lives of thousands of workers and helped develop the methods used in future public-health campaigns against the first effective treatment for malaria came from the bark of cinchona tree, which contains quinine. The early 20th century, before antibiotics became available, julius wagner-jauregg discovered that patients with syphilis could be treated by intentionally infecting them with malaria. The resulting fever would kill the syphilis spirochaetes, and quinine could be administered to control the malaria. Although some patients died from malaria, this was preferable to the almost-certain death from syphilis. 15] sixty thousand american soldiers died of malaria during the north african and south pacific campaigns.

In the early 1950s, but between 1,500 and 2,000 cases still occur each year, mostly in those who have recently traveled to malaria-endemic ts of this article:Treatment and facts on malaria:Here are some key points about the malaria. Some cause a more severe type of malaria than a symptoms can be classified into two categories: uncomplicated and severe licated is diagnosed when symptoms are present, but there are no signs to indicate severe infection or dysfunction of the vital form can become severe malaria if left untreated, or if the host has poor or no ms of uncomplicated malaria typically last 6 to 10 hours and recur every second day. Some strains of the parasite can have a longer cycle or cause mixed symptoms resemble those of flu, they may be undiagnosed or misdiagnosed in areas where malaria is less uncomplicated malaria, symptoms progress as follows, through cold, hot, and sweating stages:A sensation of cold with , headaches, and es sometimes occur in younger people with the , followed by a return to normal temperature, with areas where malaria is common, many patients recognize the symptoms as malaria and treat themselves without visiting a severe malaria, clinical or laboratory evidence shows signs of vital organ ms of severe malaria include:Impaired ation, or adopting a prone breathing and respiratory al bleeding and signs of al jaundice and evidence of vital organ malaria can be fatal without a happens when a bite from the female anopheles mosquito infects the body with plasmodium.

Days, but the malaria parasite will begin multiplying during this new malaria parasites are then released back into the bloodstream, where they infect red blood cells and multiply further. Some malaria parasites remain in the liver and are not released until later, resulting in unaffected mosquito becomes infected once it feeds on an infected individual. This restarts the diagnosis is critical for a patient's showing signs of malaria should be tested world health organization (who) strongly advise confirmation of the parasite through microscopic laboratory testing or by a rapid diagnostic test (rdt), depending on the facilities combination of symptoms can reliably distinguish malaria from other causes, so a parasitological test is vital for identifying and managing the some malaria-endemic areas, such as sub-saharan africa, the disease's severity can cause mild immunity in a large proportion of the local a result, some people carry the parasites in their bloodstream but do not fall ent and ent aims to eliminate the plasmodium parasite from the patient's without symptoms may be treated for infection to reduce the risk of disease transmission in the surrounding sinin-based combination therapy (act) is recommended by the who to treat uncomplicated sinin is derived from the plant artemisia annua, better known as sweet wormwood. The role of artemisinin is to reduce the number of parasites within the first 3 days of infection, while the partner drugs eliminate the ing access to act treatment worldwide has helped reduce the impact of malaria, but the disease is becoming increasingly resistant to the effects of places where malaria is resistant to act, treatment must contain an effective partner who has warned that no alternatives to artemisinin are likely to become available for several ch to develop safe and effective global vaccines for malaria is ongoing, with one vaccine already licensed for use in europe. No vaccine is yet licensed in the is essential to seek medical attention for suspected symptoms of malaria as early as tion: advice for ers to places where malaria is prevalent should take precautions, for example, using mosquito malaria is not endemic to the u. Travel to many countries around the world entails a ers are advised to:Find out what the risk of malaria is in the country and city or region they are their doctor what medications they should use to prevent infection in that antimalarial drugs before leaving home, to avoid the risk of buying counterfeit drugs when er the risk for individual travelers, including children, older people, pregnant women, and the existing medical conditions of any they will have access to insect repellants, insecticides, pre-treated bed nets, and appropriate aware of the symptoms of emergency situations, local health authorities in some countries may carry out "fogging," or spraying areas with pesticides similar to those used in household who points out that these are not harmful for people, as the concentration of pesticide is only strong enough to kills away, travelers should, where possible, avoid situations that increase the risk of being bitten by mosquitoes. Precautions include taking an air-conditioned room, not camping by stagnant water, and wearing clothes that cover the body at times when mosquitoes are most likely to be a year after returning home, the traveler may be susceptible to symptoms of malaria.

For some malaria, if you get bitten now and you take treatment now, at the same time, by the time the treatment kicks in, it would have been already too late for you. Also, because there are different kinds of malaria, the medication for some malaria is ineffective for other malaria.

Malaria can be carried by mosquitoes in temperate climates, but the parasite disappears over the disease is a major health problem in much of the tropics and subtropics. The cdc estimates that there are 300-500 million cases of malaria each year, and more than 1 million people die from it. It presents a major disease hazard for travelers to warm some areas of the world, mosquitoes that carry malaria have developed resistance to insecticides. These conditions have led to difficulty in controlling both the rate of infection and spread of this are four types of common malaria parasites. Recently, a fifth type,, has been causing malaria in malaysia and areas of southeast asia. Another type, falciparum malaria, affects more red blood cells than the other types and is much more serious. Complete blood count (cbc) will identify anemia if it is a, especially falciparum malaria, is a medical emergency that requires a hospital stay.

Who contracted malaria failed to take the right types of anti-malarial medications prescribed will depend on the area you visit.

Even pregnant women should take preventive medications because the risk to the fetus from the medication is less than the risk of catching this who are taking anti-malarial medications may still become infected. Avoid mosquito bites by wearing protective clothing over the arms and legs, using screens on windows, and using insect quine has been the drug of choice for protecting against malaria. Falciparum malaria is becoming increasingly resistant to anti-malarial travelers going to areas where falciparum malaria is known to occur, there are several options for malaria prevention, including mefloquine, atovaquone/proguanil (malarone), and ers can call the cdc for information on types of malaria in a certain area, preventive drugs, and times of the year to avoid travel. Les mosquito, the vector for malariasource:Malaria is one of the most ious diseases and public health problem worldwide, particularly in south asia. Each year, there are an estimated 250 million malaria leading to approximately one million deaths, children under five years of age.

Malaria and dengue are the two common mosquito infections that are very important and cause high morbidity and mortality for many patients around the world.

In this specific article, the author hereby summarizes on the topic of concurrent malaria and dengue ds: malaria, dengue, concurrent1. In this specific article, the author hereby summarizes on the topic of concurrent malaria and dengue infection. The specific triads of dengue, atypical lymphocytosis, hemoconcentration and thrombocytopenia might be a clue for differential diagnosis of dengue infection from other tropical infections including to malaria[7]–[9]. Is no doubt that in a tropical country, the high prevalence of malaria and dengue can be seen. Concurrent malaria and dengue infection is a scenario that both malaria and dengue exists in a patient at the same time. Nature of concurrent malaria and dengue infectionthere are few published reports on concurrent malaria and dengue infection. Of interest, some areas with high prevalence of both malaria and dengue such as those countries in southeast asia have never reported any cases of concurrent malaria and dengue ing to the report by carme et al in french guiana, the specific rate of concurrent malaria and dengue infection from overall febrile patients was equal to 0. Focusing on the clinical presentations, the common manifestations of concurrent malaria and dengue infection include high fever and myalgia[10]–[17]. Focusing on the species of malaria, any species of malaria can co-infect with 1characteristics of concurrent malaria and dengue on these observations, the concurrent malaria and dengue infection is only a co-infection that has no significant alterative effect on each separated infection. Malaria mosquito vector has the main habitat in the forest[18] while dengue mosquito vector has the main habitat in the city[19]. Based on mathematical probability principle, the prevalent rate or chance of current infection is the result from multiplication of the specific rate of malaria by the specific rate of dengue. In addition, when one has acute febrile illness, some might not visit to the physician and self limitation and turning into recovery (in dengue) or carrier status (in malaria) can be expected in some cases. A case of fatal plasmodium falciparum malaria complicated by acute dengue fever in east timor.
