Malaria
Malaria is caused by a parasite called Plasmodium, which is transmitted via the bites of infected mosquitoes. The parasite has a complex life cycle, involving stages in both the human and mosquito hosts. In humans, the parasites multiply in the liver and then infect red blood cells, causing symptoms like fever, chills, and flu-like illness. Malaria remains a major global health problem and is widespread in tropical and subtropical regions. Microscopic examination of blood smears remains the gold standard for diagnosis, and treatment involves antimalarial drugs.

Malaria
Malaria is a major global health problem caused by Plasmodium parasites transmitted via mosquito bites. It is endemic in tropical areas like Nigeria, where it is the most important cause of illness and a major economic burden. The disease has both an asymptomatic pre-erythrocytic stage in the liver and symptomatic erythrocytic stage in the blood, where infection of red blood cells causes cyclical fevers. Severe malaria is defined by life-threatening complications such as cerebral malaria, severe anemia, respiratory distress, renal failure, and hypoglycemia. Effective management of malaria requires understanding its complex life cycle and pathophysiology.

Malaria is a mosquito-borne infectious disease caused by Plasmodium parasites. Four species infect humans: P. vivax, P. malariae, P. falciparum, and P. ovale. It is very common in developing countries, with 300-500 million cases and over 1 million deaths per year. Symptoms include periodic fevers, chills, sweating and flu-like illness. The parasite has stages in both humans and mosquitoes during its life cycle. Diagnosis is by blood smear microscopy
Malaria
Malaria is a mosquito-borne infectious disease caused by parasitic protozoans of the genus Plasmodium. It is transmitted via the bite of an infected female Anopheles mosquito, which introduces the parasites into a person's bloodstream. The parasites travel to the liver to mature and reproduce before infecting red blood cells. Common symptoms include fever, headache, and in severe cases coma or death. There are five species that can infect humans but P. falciparum and P. vivax cause the majority of malaria cases and deaths worldwide, especially in sub-Saharan Africa and tropical regions.

Malaria remains a devastating global health problem, infecting hundreds of millions annually. It is caused by Plasmodium parasites transmitted via Anopheles mosquito bites. The malaria lifecycle involves both asexual reproduction in human hosts and sexual reproduction in mosquito hosts. In humans, parasites multiply in the liver and blood, causing symptoms including fever, chills, and headaches. Untreated P. falciparum malaria can lead to severe complications like cerebral malaria. Diagnosis involves microscopic examination of blood smears or rapid antigen tests. Treatment depends on parasite species and severity, but commonly involves artemisinin combination therapies over 3 days for uncomplicated cases.

Malaria remains a devastating global health issue, infecting hundreds of millions annually. It is caused by Plasmodium parasites and transmitted via Anopheles mosquitoes. The malaria lifecycle involves both asexual and sexual reproduction in the human and mosquito hosts. In humans, the parasites multiply in the liver and infect red blood cells, causing symptoms like fever, chills, and headaches in cycles. Untreated, P. falciparum malaria can cause severe complications like cerebral malaria. Diagnosis involves examining blood films microscopically or using rapid tests to detect parasites or antigens. While some drugs like chloroquine once treated malaria, resistance requires newer combinations of artemisinin with other therapies for effective treatment.
Malaria
Malaria is a life-threatening disease caused by parasites that are transmitted via mosquito bites. The most common malaria parasites that infect humans are Plasmodium falciparum, vivax, ovale, malariae, and knowlesi. Malaria symptoms include fever, headache, fatigue, and in severe cases can lead to organ damage or death. Diagnosis involves examining blood smears under a microscope for parasites. Treatment depends on the parasite species and disease severity, with artemisinin-based combination therapies recommended by the WHO. Prevention focuses on avoiding mosquito bites through protective clothing, bed nets, and insect repellents.

Malaria remains a major global health issue. It is caused by Plasmodium parasites transmitted via mosquito bites. The malaria life cycle involves both asexual reproduction in humans and sexual reproduction in mosquitoes. In humans, the parasites multiply in the liver and then infect and destroy red blood cells. Symptoms include fever, chills, sweats and headaches. P. falciparum causes the most severe disease and complications like cerebral malaria. Diagnosis involves examining blood smears microscopically or using rapid diagnostic tests. Treatment depends on the parasite species and disease severity, and may include antimalarial drugs targeting the liver or blood stages to resolve symptoms and prevent transmission.

The document discusses the phylum Apicomplexa, which includes the protozoan parasites that cause malaria. It describes the key structures in their apical complex, including polar rings and organelles like rhoptries, micronemes, and micropores. It notes these structures likely aid in motility and altering the host cell membrane. The document then provides information on the four Plasmodium species that cause human malaria, their geographic distribution, life cycles, clinical manifestations, methods of diagnosis, and relapsing/recrudescent infections.

Malaria
The document summarizes the life cycle and transmission of malaria parasites. It discusses:
1) Malaria is caused by protozoan parasites of the genus Plasmodium, which are transmitted through the bites of infected Anopheles mosquitoes. The parasites have a complex life cycle involving both human and mosquito hosts.
2) In humans, the parasites initially infect and multiply in the liver before infecting and destroying red blood cells. Parasites developing in red blood cells cause the cyclical symptoms of malaria.
3) Mosquitoes can acquire the parasite by biting infected humans and ingesting sexual forms of the parasite. In the mosquito's gut the parasite undergoes further development before migrating
Malaria
Malaria is caused by Plasmodium parasites transmitted via mosquito bites. P. falciparum is the most deadly species, responsible for over 50% of cases and nearly all malaria deaths. It develops through liver and blood stages in humans. Symptoms include fever, chills, vomiting and can progress to severe complications without treatment. Diagnosis involves blood smears examined microscopically for parasite forms. Treatment aims for clinical cure with antimalarial drugs and eradication of dormant stages to prevent relapse. Naturally acquired immunity develops in endemic areas but young children and pregnant women remain most vulnerable.
MALARIA by Rohan.pptx
This document discusses malaria, caused by Plasmodium parasites transmitted through mosquito bites. It covers the epidemiology, risk factors, pathophysiology, clinical presentation, complications, diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of malaria. Malaria affects hundreds of millions annually and causes over 400,000 deaths per year. The most dangerous species is P. falciparum, which can cause severe complications like cerebral malaria, acute respiratory distress syndrome, kidney failure and death if not promptly treated. Physical examination may reveal fever, pallor, jaundice, enlarged liver or spleen. Diagnosis involves blood smear examination and rapid diagnostic tests. Treatment depends on the species but involves antimalarial drugs.

Malaria presentation
- 1. Malaria By; Asma’u Abdullahi Ribadu Infectious Disease Clerkship
- 2. What is malaria? Malaria is a life threatening disease caused by plasmodium protozoa which is transmitted via bites of an infected mosquito. Parasites infect RBC’s. It has an excellent prognosis if diagnosed and treated early.
- 3. Malaria is caused by a parasite which is carried by a mosquito Only female anopheles mosquitoes can transmit malaria.
- 4. Epidemiology 40% of the world’s population lives in endemic areas. 300 – 500 million new clinical cases per year. 2 – 3 million deaths It is an increasing problem because; 1) Resurgence 2) Drug resistance
- 6. Causative Agents 1) Plasmodium falciparum; most severe type 2) Plasmodium vivax; most commonly seen 3) Plasmodium ovale 4) Plasmodium malariae 5) Plasmodium knowlesi The above plasmodium protozoan species are carried by female anopheles mosquitoes
- 7. Life Cycle 1) Asexual cycle; exoerythrocytic schizony (liver stage) erythrocytic schizony (blood stage) 2) Sexual cycle Sporogony.
- 8. Exoerythrocytic Schizony Sporozoites enters the hepatocytes and become merozoites . Merozoites replicates asexually forming a schizont which eventually bursts. In p. ovale and p. vivax, some sporozoites do not undergo asexual replication and enter a dormant phase known as hypnozoites which reactivate later resulting in a relapse.
- 9. Erythrocytic Schizony Merozoites release from hepatocytes invade erythrocytes, undergoes a trophic period then replicates in it asexually. It later bursts releasing merozoites which infect more cells. The release of merozoites is what causes malarial paroxyms.
- 10. Sporogony Trophozites in RBC’s undergo a sexual cycle which differentiates into gametocytes and are then ingested by a mosquito. In the mosquito: Gametocytes become gametes which fuse to become a zygote in the mosquitos gut which then develops into an ookinete then into an oocyte. The oocyte divides asexually, ruptures and releases sporozoites which infects the salivary gland and is what is injected into the host.
- 12. Malaria By; Asma’u Abdullahi Ribadu
- 13. Life Cycle
- 14. Incubation Period It is usually 7 to 30 days. Reduced in p. falciparum Increased in p. malariae
- 15. Clinical Features Malarial paroxyms; acute febrile attacks. - periodic fever episodes alternating with symptom free periods Ususally synchronizes with merozite release. Note: p. falciparum doesn’t exibit classic paroxyms.
- 16. Tertian malaria; fever on every third day. 48hrs cycle. Benign in p. vivax Malignant in p. falciparum Quartan malaria; 72hrs cycle. Fever on every fourth day.
- 18. Signs and Symptoms Symptoms are exclusively during asexual erythrocytic phase. Fever > 40 degrees Chills and sweating Anemia Jaundice Splenomegaly Hepatomegaly
- 19. Myalgia Headache Tiredness
- 20. More sever symptoms; Malaria nephropathy Black water fever; due to massive intravascular hemolysis. Hemoglobinuria, increased bilirubin, acute tubular necrosis, hb casts, dark coloured urine can be seen. Cerebral malaria If left untreated, leads to coma and death.
- 21. Malignant Malaria Caused by p. falciparum. It is the most severe form of malaria. It has high parasitemia. Manifestations include; cerebral malaria, bwf, acute respiratory distress syndrome, GI symptoms, renal failure, shock, death.
- 22. Uncomplicated malaria; there’s no signs of vital organ dysfunction. Complicated malaria; Organ dysfuction ie the severe symptoms plus convulsions, bleedings, impaired conciousness etc Labs; hypoglycemia, hyperlactemia, hyperparasitemia, severe anemia, acidosis, renal dysfunction.
- 23. Diagnosis 1) Malarial parasites in blood films under microscope; thick and thin films. 2) Antigen detection tests: dip sticks and cassettes. Not sensitive. >100 parasites/100ml blood 3) Serology; IFA and ELISA 4) Molecular dx using pcr
- 25. Treatment Antimalerials; 1) Atresunate 2) Chloroquine 3) Primaquine (hypnozoites) 4) Artemether + Lumefantrine Fluid therapy for rehydration Blood transfusion in severe anemia
- 26. Prevention Avoid mosquito bites: using mosquito repellants, insectides, using mosquito nets, wearing long sleeves and trousers and window screens. Prophylaxis for travellers and pregnant women.
