Signs and Symptoms of Malaria

Drug-Resistant Malaria in Cambodia What kills more than two thousand children a day could potentially spread around the world. All of the most effective drugs used on this disease in the last evades have gradually been rendered useless by its ability to evolve and develop. It is a life-threatening disease caused by parasites that are spread to people through the bites of infected Mosquitos. The most deadly of this disease lies in Cambodia. This deadly and drug-resistant disease is malaria.

Malaria is an ongoing epidemic in sub-Saharan Africa that can be eradicated once the U.S. provides that region with the necessary tools, technology, and chemical solutions. Malaria is disseminated through getting bitten by an Anopheles mosquito that is infected with the disease. Within the span of a few days, an excruciating pain will be experienced by the host, including migraines, puking, fevers, and chills. If not treated immediately, the host may die in a matter of just one day (“Malaria”). This is what happens to the people of sub-Saharan Africa.

Malaria is spread when the mosquito picks up the parasites from the blood of an infected human when it feeds. The mosquito will first recieve the malaria parasite from feeding on the blood of a person who may not neccessarily show symptoms of the disease, but has the parasites in their bloodstream. When the mosquito feeds again, these parasites will be passed on to another human being. Symptoms of malaria include fever, shivering, pain in the joints, headache, repeated vomiting, generalized convulsions, and coma. If not treated, the disease, especially that caused by protozoa falciparum, will progress to severe malaria.

Malaria is an infectious disease transmitted by the female anopheles mosquitoes. It is responsible for hundreds of thousands of deaths each year among adults and children in regions of Asia, sub-Saharan Africa, and South America. The life cycle of malaria occurs in the human body and mosquito organisms. Malaria can be classified into different variations. They are different on severity and the kinds of symptoms each type of malaria presents.

The Malaria itself is presented as a ring shape and ranges between the colors yellow and dark brown and sometimes black. (Basic Malaria Microscopy, 1999) As soon as the malaria parasites hit the blood stream they start killing off red blood cells which causes flu like symptoms such as NVD, chills, tiredness, and muscle aches. Since these are all common symptoms, Malaria may be misdiagnosed at first. If the beginning stages of malaria are not treated severe malaria will start taking place with more severe symptoms including breathing difficulties, low blood sugar and coma. If these symptoms go untreated the disease will lead to death.

P.Ovale, this causes tertian (recurs every second day) malaria in humans. This species is very closely related to both plasmodium falciparum and P.Vivax. P.Ovale has a quite inadequate dispersal.

The parasites that cause malaria rely on a human host in order to reproduce and thrive. The vector, mosquitos in this case, are simply the means by which the parasite finds its next human host to thrive again.

Malaria is a serious, sometimes life-threatening disease common in third world countries. Malaria is a disease transmitted by infected mosquitoes (Mayo Clinic Staff). The mosquitoes are infected with parasites (Malaria WebMD). The symptoms of malaria typically begin within a few weeks after being bitten, but in some cases could go unnoticed for an extended period of time (Mayo Clinic Staff). Symptoms of malaria include chills, fever, profuse sweating, and headache (Mayo Clinic Staff).

Crimean-Congo Haemorrhagic Supportive care is very important in the treatment of Crimean-Congo Haemorrhagic Fever (CCHF). Treatment used for this disease is an antiviral drug is given, ribavirin. Patient is kept in isolation and constantly monitored for blood volumes. Prevention In endemic regions, prevention depends on avoiding bites from infected ticks and contact with infected blood or tissues. M5 Smallpox Smallpox is a deadly disease spread by a virus called varilola, this disease was once one of the world’s most dangerous and feared disease, before its eradication in1980.Smallpox was a dangerous disease globally, due to how contagious the disease was and the rate of how the disease spread on a global basic.

Those who live in these malaria-stricken areas must be sure to avoid mosquito bites and use vector control such as sprays and insecticide-treated bed nets. Medical News Today explains,“If malaria is diagnosed and treated early on, the duration of the infection can be considerably reduced, which in turn lowers the risk of complications and death” (“What is Malaria?” 2014).
