CAUSES, SYMPTOMS AND TREATMENTS OF MALARIA

Malaria is a severe disease, which transmits through female mosquito bite. Only the Anopheles genus category of female mosquito spread malaria. Malaria does not spread through male mosquito. It occurs through one-cell leech known as Plasmodium. Plasmodium falciparum is the fatal and most ubiquitous sponger of malaria, which infects the human body. Female Anopheles mosquito, bites the parasite holder (infection holder), where they suck the blood, to lay the eggs. This parasite gets expands and regenerate inside the mosquito, which further get mixed with the saliva, and pass into the blood of a person if, bitten by the mosquito. However, the parasite of malaria takes growth speedily in the liver, and further in red blood cells of a sufferer.

Thus, in certain situation the red blood counts trims down, which indicates malaria disease. If, in case not treated soon; it finished up the red blood cells and jammed the blood vessel linked to the brain or the key organs. Malaria is a contagious disease, which spread via female mosquito bites. Anyone can face this disease. Malaria breaks down the immune system and blood counting. However, the female mosquito lays egg at the water surface, which feeds and lives under the water; it rarely touches the surface to get atmospheric air. After maturation they move and fly away. In India, malaria and tuberculosis has become common due to unhygienic condition.

Malaria mosquito generates at dirty and unhygienic place. It is mostly seen in rainy season, due to water accumulation at particular area. Hence, the suffering rate of malaria in certain season increases. Children are more likely to get malaria; since, they play outside more. A woman suffering from malaria in pregnancy may link a risk to the developing baby.  However, malaria is categorized into 5 ways.

  • Ø Plasmodium knowlesi parasite – it leads to malaria in macaques (an old sub-family of monkey), but may also infect the human beings.
  • Ø Plasmodium ovale parasite – it is quite normal form of disease, but not actually life taking. This parasite holds the liver function, and lasts in the body for a longer time, without causing any illness. However, the treatment is necessary otherwise; it may become constant health problem. Its ignorance may damage and reduces the longevity, of the liver.
  • Ø Plasmodium vivax parasite – it is one of the leading causes of malaria in Asian countries. Plasmodium vivax is a pathogen found in human body. It mainly causes human malaria. However, a soonest treatment is necessary; since, it damages the liver and immune system, gradually.
  • Ø Plasmodium falciparum parasite – it is one of the severe types of disease, frequently found in Africa. Plasmodium vivax and plasmodium falciparum are quite severe parasite of malaria diseases. Plasmodium falciparum get passes via female mosquito. Plasmodium is a form, which goes into the human body through the saliva of female mosquitoes. Plasmodium falciparum exist in the blood of a person for decades.
  • Ø Plasmodium malaria parasite – this parasite inhabit the blood of a human body.

Some of the symptoms of malaria delayed, which brings down the function of the organs including inactive immune system.

However, in case of malaria the red blood counting level gets reduced; since, malaria is a disease occurs due to blood infection. However, in certain cases the level of white blood is hardly affected.
