4  Ancient references  China, Assyria, India  500 BC Hippocrates gives first clinical description

5  Ancient references  China, Assyria, India  500 BC Hippocrates gives first clinical description  Historical Impacts  413 BC Fall of Greek empire  323 BC Alexander the Great died of malaria  The Roman Empire: Malaria is generally considered to have played a role in the decline of Rome, a city located in marshland, where malaria is transmitted  In world war 2, more people died due to malaria than in war

7  Globally 150 to 300 million cases annually  81% in African region  13% South east Asian region  5% eastern Mediterranean

8  In India 27% of the population live in malaria high transmission area  58% in low transmission area

9

10  Plasmodium –4 species  P falciparum  P vivax  P ovale  P malaria

13  Only human reservoir

14  Age  Sex  Genetic- sickle cell anemia, duffy negative blood type  Low socio economic status  Poor housing standards  Migration  Occupation- agriculture

15  Season-Rainy season  Temperature – 16-30 degree  High humidity- above 60%  Altitude- less than 2500 metes

16  Length of time between infective mosquito bite and first appearance of fever  P Falciparum malaria- 12 days  P Vivax -14 days  P malaria- 28 days  P ovale -17 days

17  Typical fever- 3 stages  Cold stage  Chills and rigor  Last for 1/4 th to 1 hour  Hot stage  Hot and dry  Last for 2-6 hour  Sweating stage  Fever comes down with profuse sweating

18  Cerebral malaria  Renal failure  Liver damage  Dehydration  Anemia

19  Microscopy-Blood smear examination for parasite  Serological test- fluorescent antibody test  Rapid diagnostic test

20  For falciparum  Artisunate combination therapy  For vivax  Chloroquine along with primaquine

21 Infected People Mosquitoes Uninfected People contact Habitat Climate Food Source of Plasmodium Source of New Hosts Habitat Behavior

31  Drug treatment  Transgenic mosquitoes  Why don’t these work?  Availability of drugs  Money  Medical staff  Recrudescense  Drug resistance  Reservoir hosts?  Transgenic mosquitoes not a reality  Expensive

32  Vaccines  Prophylactic drugs

33  Vaccines  Prophylactic drugs  Why don’t these work?

34  Vaccines  Prophylactic drugs  Why don’t these work?  Vaccines unsuccessful  Prophylactic drugs expensive  Prophylactic drugs unpleasant

35  Insecticides  Mosquito nets  Long clothing  Behavior  Avoid mosquito habitat  Screens on houses
