What genetic differences make some individuals more and some less susceptible to malaria ?
What are some countries doing to prevent the spread of malaria?
One 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 response

Class Trematoda has the subclass Digenea, which has organisms that live through at least two different hosts. An example of this is Fasciola hepatica, the sheep's liver fluke. Class Monogenea has organisms that only need to live through one host. Is it better to have a simple or complex life cycle? Which lives longer? Has more energy? Does more damage or good?arrow_forwardBetty, who is 25 years of age, has been diagnosed with Raynaud phenomenon. She has been a snow skier for 10 years and would like to continue skiing.
