Human Blood Types and the Aedes Aegypti Mosquito's Reproductive Success

It is said that there is 20 species around the world but there are 4 most common species that cause the disease in humans a few are known as: Plasmodium falciparum, this is the most deadly out of all 4 to humans this lies in the salivary glands of the mosquito and it is transmitted to humans by the females of the Anopheles of the mosquito. As the mosquito takes the blood from the human during the process it only injects a tiny amount of its saliva into the skin wound, with this the saliva has antihemostatic molecules and anti-inflammatory enzymes within it which slow the body’s natural blood clotting process and produces the itching/stinging pain. P.Vivax, this is the most frequent and widely distributed cause of malaria that reoccurs it’s also one of the most common kinds of parasites that infect humans. It can cause very violent headaches, high fever, vomiting, abundant sweating & expansion of the spleen. P.Ovale, this causes tertian (recurs every second day) malaria in humans.

Symptoms of malaria include chills, fever, profuse sweating, and headache (Mayo Clinic Staff). Malaria is very common in Africa, Southern Asia, Central America, and South America (Malaria WebMD). Malaria is caused by different variations of the parasite called Plasmodium. Two of the parasites are called Plasmodium Malariae and Plasmodium Falciparum. Some other variations of this parasite are Plasmodium Vivax and Plasmodium Ovale.

Strategies of improving the use of insecticide treated nets amongst antenatal women in North central, Nigeria. Background The preventable and curable, but life threatening parasitic disease known as malaria have been a graven menace transnationally, with more prevalence in tropical climatic regions, such that in 2013, the World Health Organization ( WHO) reported that, about 207 million people were infected annually with the plasmodium species, with over one million deaths cases annually occurring as a result of this disease (Afolabi et al., 2009), and about 627, 000 deaths cases occurring highly among African children (World Health Organization, 2013a), such that for every 30 seconds a child dies of malaria and many in just few days after infection (United Nations Children's Fund, 2013). Maternal mortality due to malaria has accounted to 11% in Nigeria, with the greatest occurrences in sub-Sahara African, and about five million antenatal women are at peril of been infected with the disease annually (Ankomah et al., 2012; Menendez et al., 2008). This disease causes anaemia during pregnancy and result to low birth weight which is a risk factor to child mortality, sub-optimal growth and maternal mortality (United Nations Children's Fund, 2013). Moreover, report of higher prevalence cases of about 56.4% of pregnant women within the North central region of Nigeria were infected with malaria, compare to other geo-political zones (Federal Ministry of Health, 2004), this is supported by an arguments made by Agomo et al., (2009), that due to the peculiarity of the geographical location and tropical climatic conditions in Nigeria, as well as, with combine behavioural practices such as; leaving of stagnant water within the surrounds which p... ... middle of paper ... ...k, R.
