Malaria
The word malaria means “bad water.” The disease is known in parts of South America, sub-Saharan Africa and Asia. Children and pregnant women more susceptible to malaria.
Malaria is a disease caused by protozoan parasites of the genus Plasmodium.
There are five types of parasite ’strains’ that causes malaria and P. vivax falciparum. Four of them can infect humans. “Falciparum Strain ‘is the most dangerous because it can cause death and is responsible for 90 percent of the deaths.” Vivax “are commonly found in South America and Asia.
Malaria is a mosquito-borne disease. In other words, act as a mosquito vector that transmits the malaria parasite of patients to the health of other people and make a healthy person is infected with malaria. In the same way that the dengue disease.
Mosquito and parasite are “ancient creatures. Therefore, malaria existed before the existence of another human being. This parasite is evolving and the battle between man and malaria is not finished.
Why?
Maybe the world with chloroquine and DDT (dichloride-diphenyl-trichloroethane)?
Chloroquine may interfere ‘reproduction’ pests, DDT are long lasting. With a small amount of time, DDT can kill mosquitoes that spread the disease “for months” and, indirectly, can interrupt the cycle of malaria. “Also,” Brazil and the U. S. Malaria, once defeated.
Yes, but the world also have things to realize their love. “DDT is not used and controlled by farmers and pollution caused the death of several animals.
In 1996, DDT use was stopped and replaced with “pyrethroid pesticides. 1999 – the mosquitoes that transmit malaria are” resistant “to the toxin.
These parasites will continue to grow and cause ineffective chloroquine.
Signs and symptoms include fever, bouts of malaria parasite, tremors, joint pain, stiffness, and anemia. Sweating, feeling hot rolling line and cold is a “symptom” classic malaria. Anemia (anemia) can cause brain damage and patients may be directly into a coma.
If left untreated. can cause death. In cases of severe malaria, the patient may experience a neurological disease “that will last. Most of the patients of children. Falciparum is the main cause of 20 percent of Zambian children die before age 5 .
Malaria can also cause extreme headaches, swollen spleen and liver and kidney failure. Severe malaria can kill rapidly. A healthy baby can die the next day.
