Malaria
Creator : NOT_SO_INSPIRING
WHAT IS MALARIA?
• Malaria is a life-threatening disease caused by parasites that are transmitted to
people through the bites of infected female mosquitoes.
• About 3.2 billion people – almost half of the world’s population – are at risk of
malaria.
• Malaria is caused by Plasmodium parasites. The parasites are spread to people
through the bites of infected female Anopheles mosquitoes, called "malaria vectors.”
There are 5 parasite species that cause malaria in humans
FACTS ABOUT MALARIA
• Mothers and children
A child dies every minute from malaria in Africa where it is estimated that 9 out of 10
malaria deaths occur. In 2013, there were 528 000 deaths from malaria globally, and
about 78% of these were in children under 5 years of age. Malaria episodes in
pregnant women cause anemia, and other complications in the mother and newborn
child.
• People living with HIV/AIDS
People living With HIV/AIDS have a higher risk of recurrent malaria episodes and
severe malaria.
• African leaders committed to the reduction of malaria burden
African heads of states and governments have committed to leading the reduction of
malaria burden through ensuring universal access of exposed populations to
essential malaria prevention and treatment interventions.
ACTIONS TAKEN AGAINST MALARIA
• Methods used to prevent the spread of disease, or to protect individuals in
areas where malaria is endemic, include prophylactic drugs, mosquito
eradication, and the prevention of mosquito bites.
• Mosquito nets help keep mosquitoes away from people, and thus greatly reduce
the infection and transmission of malaria. The nets are not a perfect barrier, so
they are often treated with an insecticide designed to kill the mosquito before it
has time to search for a way past the net.
