1. Malaria:-

4. Malaria is caused by a protozoan parasite called plasmodium vivax.
Transmission :-
It occurs through bite of infected female Anopheles mosquito carrying plasmodium which lives in the red blood corpuscles of peripheral blood of infected person.

5. Plasmodium Falciparum Life Cycle :-

6. Periodic fever
Headache
Enlargement of spleen and varying degrees of anemia
Symptoms Of Malaria:-

7. Stages Of Malaria:- Cold Stage –
Sudden onset of fever with rigor i.e., sensation of chilling cold.
Time: 15 minutes to 1 hour.
Hot Stage –
Body temperature rises to 40 C.
Intense headache
Time : 2 to 6 hours.
Sweating Stage –
Fever comes down
Profuse sweating
Time : 2 to 4 hours.

8. Treatment Of Malaria:-
Anti-malarial drugs, Chloroquine, primaquine, meparine, paludrine, quinine are used in the treatment of malaria.

9. Preventive Measures of Malaria:-
Destructive of breeding places of mosquitoes.
Spraying kerosene oil, diesel or fuel oil over the surface of stagnant water,
which kills mosquito larvae by suffocation.
Biological control of mosquitoes using Gambusia fish.
Use of mosquito nets, mosquito repellents, ect.

10. 2. Leprosy:-
Mycobacterium leprae which is a rod-shaped bacterium causes leprosy.

11. "A bacillus, Mycobacterium leprae, that multiplies very slowly and mainly affects the skin, nerves, and mucous membranes. The organism has never been grown in bacteriologic media or cell culture, but has been grown in mouse foot pads. “
