Discuss the following about Malaria.
Disease caused
Mode of transmission
Virulence factors
Diagnostic methods
Disease is caused by plasmodium vivax and plasmodium falciparum.
It is a protozoan.
The disease is transmitted through female anopheles mosquito.
The virulence factors are-
Ability to invade red blood cells.
Adhere to the cells
Evade immune response.
Diagnostic methods-
Blood test- here blood smear is tested and stained by a particular stain to observe the pathogen.
Antibody test- in this antibodies against malaria are tested.
Rapid detection test- in this a strip is used.

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.
any of the following:Staphylococcocal Diseases, Mycobacterium ,Clostridium and Bacillus, Pseudomonas Bacterial Diseases. Prompt 2: Select one of the bacteria discussed in module 11 and discuss the following: (USLO 11.1, 11.2, 11.3, 11.4, and 11.5) o Disease caused O Mode of transmission o Virulence factors O Diagnostic methods

Read the following scenario to answer the following question. Malaria is a disease caused by parasitic protists in the genus Plasmodium. The parasite is transmitted to humans by female Anopheles mosquitoes. The Plasmodium parasite feeds on human red blood cells, eventually destroying them. Humans infected with malaria can exhibit many symptoms. Depending on the severity of the infection, these can range from fever, chills, sweating, and headaches to anemia and kidney failure. Ultimately, malaria can result in death. However, if...
Topic: MALARIA Cause of Disease 1. What type of microbe causes the disease? 2. If it is a bacterium, what are the characteristics of the cell (Gram-negative or positive (what does that mean?), cell shape and arrangement? metabolic capabilities?). 3. If it is eukaryote, is it a fungus, an alga, a protozoan, a Platyhelminthes, or a nematode? Is it multicellular or unicellular? What is its life cycle? 4. If it is a virus, it must include the complete classification and...
