Explain how each of the following could lead to the reemergence of malaria in the United States: (a) global warming, (b) increased travel of individuals from endemic regions to the United States, (c) increased immigration of individuals from endemic regions to the United States, and (d) laws protecting wetlands.
Please simple to understand and original answer. Thanks :)
vivax is one of several malaria-causing Plasmodium species that form hypnozoites in the liver, which can remain dormant for weeks or months. How do these hypnozoites impact the prognosis of malaria caused by P. vivax?

- What is a drug- resistant malaria case? How is it being managed?arrow_forwardPlasmodium is the most deadly parasite globally. There are nearly 250 million new cases of malaria diagnosed each year. Discuss at least two mechanisms that this parasite uses within its host(s) to persist, manipulate, and/or propogate.arrow_forwardWhat is the name of the infective stage of the malaria parasite inhumans and mosquitoes?arrow_forward
- How do parasites affect the spread of malaria?arrow_forwardAssuming you have been posted to a community where malaria is very endemic. There is a high rate of absenteeism among your students due to incidents of malaria. As part of your community engagement explain how you would educate on malaria prevention taking the following into consideration:a) Name of the vector and the species of the parasite that cause the diseases in Africa; b) Two chemical and two biological ways of reducing the population of mosquitoes; c) Two in-house measures to prevent mosquitoes bite;d) The stages in the life cycle of the mosquito;e) The names of three African countries that participated in the trial of malarial vaccine.arrow_forwardExplain why only female mosquitoes are involved in malaria and elephantiasis.arrow_forward
- Which of the following summarizes the chronological sequence (earliest to latest) of discovery involving human malaria parasites? This is was in a lecture slide, but is also in the textbook. a) liver stages, blood stages, mosquito stages, experimental transmission by mosquito b) blood stages, mosquito stages, liver stages, experimental transmission by mosquito c) mosquito stages, blood stages, liver stages, experimental transmission by mosquito d) blood stages, mosquito stages, experimental transmission by mosquito, liver stages e) mosquito stages, liver stages, blood stages, experimental transmission by mosquitoarrow_forwardWhy do only female Anopheles mosquitoes transmit malaria?arrow_forwardOne of the most characteristic symptoms of malaria is the alternation of attacks (involving a cold phase, a hot phase, and a sweating phase) with periods of 1 or 2 days of no or few fevers. Given the life cycle of Plasmodium what is the best explanation for this pattern: When free in the blood, merozoites release chemicals that directly cause body responses. Merozoites appear in coordinated “waves”, which explains the cycling attacks Merozoites entering the red blood cells generate a strong response from the red blood cells, which stimulates a massive immune response Attack phase correlates with simultaneous bursting of infected red blood cells, releasing thousands or millions of merozoites. This triggers massive immune response, resulting in symptoms Plasmodium generates a constant accumulation of irritants in the blood, mostly residues from digesting hemoglobin . Once the amount reaches a critical level, these trigger a massive immune responsearrow_forward
- Which is considered as the intermediate host and the definitive host in the life cycle of malarial parasite?arrow_forwardWhat evolutionary evidence is there that malaria has plagued humanity for millennia?
