Who was the hosts of malaria and what host factors contributed to contracting the disease malaria?
ANS)
* Parasite that leads to the malaria disease is plasmodium. This need 2 separate hosts.They are, 1) vertebrate intervening host like the human being 2) Any small invertebrates animal and these invertebrate animals are called vector.Normally in the case of malaria that affect the human beings,vector will be female Anopheles mosquito.The Malaria normally leads to heavy fever,nausea which cause vomiting and coolness inside the body.
* Normally the appearance of indications and seriousness of disease is based on some aspects.That are the kind of plasmodium,immunity power of individual and contagious dosage that got from the invertebrate animal.Usually the plasmodium falciparum is most threatening kind of plasmodium for human beings.
The malaria disease is treatable by taking the medicines correctly and through medicines the malaria causing parasites can be completely eliminated from human trunk.Some of the common medicines used for treating malaria are chloroquine,primaquine Doxycycline etc....
Not only the humans,lots of mammals like macaque monkey is vulnerable to the malaria disease.Some kind of malaria can transmit the infection even to the fowls and reptiles.But this won't be done by the same subdivision of mosquito.
THANKS!!!!!

Discuss the factors that contribute to the spread of the disease malaria
Briefly explain the transmission of malaria. Discuss some of the risk factors for acquiring this disease as well as the social implications for infected individuals. Given the risk factors mentioned above, what area(s) of prevention would you focus on if you were to start a public health campaign designed at reducing the incidence of malaria cases? Please explain your reasoning in less than two paragraphs.
Conjunctivitis: What populations are at highest risk of contracting the disease? How is the disease diagnosed and are there any groups of people who should be tested?
Discuss the following about Malaria. Disease caused Mode of transmission Virulence factors Diagnostic methods
Vaccine for Malaria ~ In order for a vaccine to be effective, it should reduce a person’s chance of acquiring a disease. Consider a hypothetical vaccine for malaria – a tropical disease that kills between 1.5 and 2.7 million people every year. Suppose this vaccine is tested with 500 volunteers in a village who are malaria free at the beginning of the trial. Two hundred of the volunteers will get the experimental vaccine and the rest will not be vaccinated....
induviduals who have a particular gene have a .72 probability of contracting a certain disease suppose that 526 induviduals with the gene participate in a lifetime study what is the standard deviation of the number of people who eventually contract the disease?
Question 5 2 pts Based on disease models, vaccination can control diseases by Killing infected hosts Reducing the number of susceptible hosts in a population Reducing host death rates Reducing pathogen virulence All of these Question 6 2 pts Community ecology is best defined as the study of plant distributions in a given region. mutual benefits between organisms at all scales in a region. the relationship between abiotic and biotic factors. how groups of species interact in the same place...
Apply all three parts of the epidemiological triangle to the disease malaria What was the agent of malaria?
What is the “host” in infectious disease epidemiology?
Question 3 0.33 pts What is the relationship between Plasmodium and malaria? Malaria is what we call Plasmodium once it infects a person. Plasmodium is a parasite; malaria is the disease caused by a Plasmodium infection. Plasmodium is the scientific name; malaria is a more general term used in everyday conversation O Plasmodium is a symptom; malaria is the underlying disease.
