The Mosquito-Born Disease of Malaria

The manner of how these diseases are introduced to human through insects will further be discussed in this paper. This paper will attempt a further analysis on the history, the distribution of the diseases worldwide, and the further impact noted caused by the diseases. Vector could be defined as an organism that does not involve in causing disease itself, but responsible in conveying pathogens from each host to another which in this case; the insects. These diseases can be transmitted to human…

The Malaria Parasite Plasmodium and the Epidemiology of the Disease Abstract For ages malaria has affected mankind in almost all parts of the world. It has left a deep imprint on people who have been affected with the disease, and even today in countries where epidemics are common, malaria is a constant threat to people's daily lives. Malaria is caused by protozoan parasites of the genus Plasmodium (phylum Apicomplexa), and there are four species in the genus that cause the disease in humans…

Located in the Kingdom Protozoan Malaria is a parasitic mosquito born organism passed to humans by several species of the genus Anopheles and is responsible for about 220 million infections every year and 600,000- 1,200,000 deaths every year. The developing world is disproportionately affected which had led to some unique changes when dealing with infections such as drugs needing to be cheap, administered orally and stable at relatively high temperatures. However in keeping with the old saying prevention…

References………………………………………………………………………………………9 Introduction: Malaria is acute febrile illness caused by infection of red blood cells with protozoan parasites of genus plasmodium. The four Plasmodium species that infect humans are P. falciparum, P. vivax, P. ovale and P.malariae. The incubation period of malaria is 7 days…

are used in the study. Background of the Study Our society is surrounded by many types of diseases and illness that spreads out and infect people. The fast spread of diseases carrying mosquitoes is one of the major problems in the community. In line with this basic problem, numerous researchers have been conducted regarding the use of insecticides from commonly grown plants in the Philippines. Mosquito, is a common name for about 2000 species of two-winged insects. They are found from the tropics…

Malaria is a vector-borne, fever-producing disease caused by infection with one of four species of apicomplexan parasitic protozoa in the genus plasmodium. It is the most important arthropod-transmitted pathogen in the world today in terms of numbers of cases, deaths, and economic burden. Acquired from the bite of an infective Anopheles mosquito, malaria caused by plasmodium falciparum in which febrile paroxysms recur irregularly, is the most severe form of malaria. It has the highest levels of parasites…

Section 1 Malaria General Information Malaria is a common infectious disease found mainly in the tropics but in rare circumstances can be found in temperate areas. Depending on the circumstances malaria can be either life threatening cause serious illness. It is caused by parasites of the Plasmodium species(in text reference). These parasites are carried by mosquitoes which become infected after biting someone who has malaria. Malaria is then passed on to others when the infected mosquito bites another…

Malaria (also called biduoterian fever, blackwater fever, falciparum malaria, plasmodium, Quartan malaria, and tertian malaria) is one of the most infectious and most common diseases in the world. This serious, sometimes-fatal disease is caused by a parasite that is carried by a certain species of mosquito called the Anopheles. It claims more lives every year than any other transmissible disease except tuberculosis. Every year, five hundred million adults and children (around nine percent of the…

serious mosquito-borne virus. This virus is known to affect mostly the people in North America. It is also known to break up during the summer time and extends toward fall. The virus was introduced into the Western Hemisphere during 1999 later summer and has been causing significant and at times severe human diseases ever since that time (Colpitts et al., 2014). The virus is commonly found in Africa, Middle East, and West Asia. It may have entered the United States in an infected mosquito, bird,…

Should DDT Be Used Against Malaria DDT is an effective control mechanism for containing the spread of malaria. However, when used as a control mechanism for agriculture, it has been shown to cause environmental harm to ecosystems in the area. This has lead to many misconceptions that DDT is strictly a harmful chemical that only leads to negative outcomes. However, there is evidence that shows the opposite when DDT is used as a control mechanism in controlling the spread of malaria. DDT should be used as…
