Discuss the Life cycle of malarial
Step by step
Solved in 2 steps
- In 2021 there were an estimated 247 million new malaria cases in 85 malaria-endemic countries with at least 619,000 deaths, caused by the protozoan Plasmodium and transmitted by mosquitoes. This is an example of: Vehicle transmission Droplet transmission Vector transmission Aerosol transmission Direct contact transmissionPlasmodium 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.Explain why only female mosquitoes are involved in malaria and elephantiasis.
- Assuming 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.Explain what it means to be an obligate intracellular parasite.Compare and contrast malaria and babesiosis based on their life cycles, causative agents, hosts, vectors,and treatments.
- Explain what it means to be an obligate intracellular parasite.Name three groups of obligate intracellular parasites.Outline the general life cycle of malarial organisms. What explains the resurgence of malaria in recent years?What is the name of the infective stage of the malaria parasite inhumans and mosquitoes?
