Impact of Malaria 03_02/mosquitograph_468x611.jpg

Impact of Malaria (contd.)

After release, a dormant version of malaria travels through the host’s blood stream, to be ingested by another mosquito to onfect a new host. This repeating cycle depletes the body of oxygen and coincides with malaria’s fever and chills Infected red blood cells burst, infecting other blood cells and starting the sequence again. Gets into blood stream, attaches and enters red blood cells where further reproduction occurs. The Parasite starts reproducing rapidly in the liver. (Some parasites lie dormant and become activated years after initial infection) Parasite reaches the liver within 30 minutes. Infected mosquito bites a human. Malaria is a transmissible disease
