MeSH Malaria is a vector -borne infectious disease caused by protozoan parasites . It is widespread in tropical and subtropical regions, including parts of the Americas Asia , and Africa . Each year, there are approximately 515 million cases of malaria, killing between one and three million people, the majority of whom are young children in Sub-Saharan Africa Malaria is commonly associated with poverty, but is also a cause of poverty and a major hindrance to economic development Malaria is one of the most common infectious diseases and an enormous public health problem. The disease is caused by protozoan parasites of the genus Plasmodium . Only four types of the plasmodium parasite can infect humans; the most serious forms of the disease are caused by Plasmodium falciparum and Plasmodium vivax , but other related species ( Plasmodium ovale Plasmodium malariae ) can also affect humans. This group of human-pathogenic Plasmodium species is usually referred to as malaria parasites Malaria parasites are transmitted by female Anopheles mosquitoes . The parasites multiply within red blood cells , causing symptoms that include symptoms of anemia (light headedness, shortness of breath

Extractions: Home About CDC Press Room Funding ... Contact Us Search: Malaria: Topic Home Malaria is a mosquito-borne disease caused by a parasite. People with malaria often experience fever, chills, and flu-like illness. Left untreated, they may develop severe complications and die. Each year 350-500 million cases of malaria occur worldwide, and over one million people die, most of them young children in sub-Saharan Africa. This sometimes fatal disease can be prevented and cured. Bednets, insecticides, and antimalarial drugs are effective tools to fight malaria in areas where it is transmitted. Travelers to a malaria-risk area should avoid mosquito bites and take a preventive antimalarial drug. 2+ Years Later: The President's Malaria Initiative The President's Malaria Initiative (PMI), created in June 2005 to cut malaria deaths in half in 15 African countries, has already reached millions with lifesaving malaria prevention and treatment services.

http://www.who.int/topics/malaria/en/

Extractions: Main content Malaria is caused by a parasite called Plasmodium, which is transmitted via the bites of infected mosquitoes. In the human body, the parasites multiply in the liver, and then infect red blood cells. Symptoms of malaria include fever, headache, and vomiting, and usually appear between 10 and 15 days after the mosquito bite. If not treated, malaria can quickly become life-threatening by disrupting the blood supply to vital organs. In many parts of the world, the parasites have developed resistance to a number of malaria medicines. Key interventions to control malaria include: prompt and effective treatment with artemisinin-based combination therapies; use of insecticidal nets by people at risk; and indoor residual spraying with insecticide to control the vector mosquitoes.

Extractions: Prevention of Specific Infectious Diseases Malaria in humans is caused by one of four protozoan species of the genus Plasmodium: P. falciparum, P. vivax, P. ovale , or P. malariae (1). All species are transmitted by the bite of an infected female Anopheles mosquito. Occasionally, transmission occurs by blood transfusion, organ transplantation, needle-sharing, or congenitally from mother to fetus. Although malaria can be a fatal disease, illness and death from malaria are largely preventable. http://wwwn.cdc.gov/travel/default.aspx

Extractions: Medical Editor: William C. Shiel Jr., MD, FACP, FACR Malaria is an infectious disease caused by a parasite, Plasmodium , which infects red blood cells. Malaria is characterized by cycles of chills, fever , pain and sweating. Historical records suggest malaria has infected humans since the beginning of mankind. The name "mal 'aria" (meaning "bad air" in Italian) was first used in English in 1740 by H. Walpole when describing the disease. The term was shortened to "malaria" in the 20th century. C. Laveran in 1880 was the first to identify the parasites in human blood. In 1889, R. Ross discovered that mosquitoes transmitted malaria. Of the four species of malaria, the most serious type is Plasmodium falciparum malaria. It can be life-threatening. The other three species of malaria (

Extractions: MicrobiologyBytes Microbiology Notes : Malaria Updated: April 26, 2007 Search MALARIA Approximately 300 million people worldwide are affected by malaria and between 1 and 1.5 million people die from it every year. Previously extremely widespread, the malaria is now mainly confined to Africa, Asia and Latin America. The problems of controlling malaria in these countries are aggravated by inadequate health structures and poor socioeconomic conditions. The situation has become even more complex over the last few years with the increase in resistance to the drugs normally used to combat the parasite that causes the disease. Malaria is caused by protozoan parasites of the genus Plasmodium Four species of Plasmodium can produce the disease in its various forms: P. falciparum is the most widespread and dangerous of the four: untreated it can lead to fatal cerebral malaria. Malaria parasites are transmitted from one person to another by the female anopheline mosquito. The males do not transmit the disease as they feed only on plant juices. There are about 380 species of anopheline mosquito, but only 60 or so are able to transmit the parasite. Like all other mosquitos, the anophelines breed in water, each species having its preferred breeding grounds, feeding patterns and resting place. Their sensitivity to insecticides is also highly variable. MicrobiologyBytes Podcast: Giving malaria the slip

It is caused by any of four single-celled parasites of the Plasmodium species, which are carried by mosquitoes infected from biting someone who already has the disease. Malaria is then transmitted to other people when they are bitten by the infected mosquitoes. It is rarely passed from person to person (from mother to child in "congenital malaria," or through blood transfusion, organ donation, or shared needles). Worldwide, 300-500 million people are infected with malaria each year. Most cases occur in sub-Saharan Africa, with approximately 2 million people dying there each year. Malaria is rare in the United States, with only about 1,300 cases reported each year over the last 10 years. Most of these cases occurred in travelers, military personnel, and immigrants who had become infected by malaria parasites outside the United States.

The disease has been recognized for thousands of years and once was found almost everywhere except in the most northern areas of the world. Malaria has been wiped out in North America, Western Europe, and Russia. It remains a serious problem in much of the tropical and subtropical world, however. Millions of people continue to be infected every year, and probably up to 1 million of them die. Although the United States is malaria-free, hundreds of cases a year are still reported here. Most of these are people who acquired the disease overseas.

The illness results in recurrent attacks of chills and fever, and it can be deadly. Although malaria has been virtually eradicated in countries with temperate climates, it's still prevalent in tropical and subtropical countries in Africa, Asia, the Middle East, South America and Central America. Evolving strains of drug-resistant parasites and insecticide-resistant mosquitoes continue to make this disease a global health issue. Malaria remains one of the world's leading infectious killers, particularly of children in sub-Saharan Africa. Most American cases of malaria develop in travelers who have recently returned from parts of the world where malaria is widespread. Generally, Africa carries the highest risk for the most serious cases. If you're traveling to malaria-endemic places take precautions before, during and after your trip.

Extractions: MicroWorlds Contents Advanced Light Source Berkeley Lab Malaria is a mosquito-borne disease that causes over 2.7 million deaths per year according to estimates by the World Health Organization. Scientists in the Life Sciences Division and the Center for X-Ray Optics (CXRO) at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory are working with the newly developed x-ray microscope at the Advanced Light Source to study this disease. Malaria: A Mosquito-Borne Disease of the Blood Malaria is a potentially fatal blood disease caused by a parasite that is transmitted to human and animal hosts by the Anopheles mosquito. The human parasite, Plasmodium falciparum, is dangerous not only be cause it digests the red blood cell's hemoglobin, but also because it changes the adhesive properties of the cell it inhabits. This change in turn causes the cell to stick to the walls of blood vessels. It becomes especially dangerous when the infected blood cells stick to the capillaries in the brain, obstructing blood flow, a condition called cerebral malaria. Scientists using the x-ray microscope are hoping to learn more about the how the parasite infects and disrupts the blood cells and the blood vessels of an infected host.
