Malaria is a disease caused by a parasite transmitted via the bites of infected Anopheles mosquitoes. The parasite infects and multiplies in the liver and blood cells of humans, causing symptoms including fever, chills, and vomiting. Malaria was responsible for approximately 781,000 deaths worldwide in 2009, mostly among African children. It is most prevalent in tropical and subtropical regions of the world, including parts of Africa, Asia, and South America.

Malaria is a life-threatening disease caused by a parasite transmitted via mosquito bites. The parasite is transmitted when an infected female Anopheles mosquito bites a person and draws blood, then bites another person. Most malaria causes flu-like symptoms such as fever and chills that come and go in cycles, while some types can damage major organs and be deadly. Transmission can be prevented by using mosquito nets, spraying insecticides, and sleeping in screened or air-conditioned rooms.
Disease
An infectious disease is caused by a pathogen that can be passed from one organism to another through various means of transmission. Non-infectious diseases are not caused by pathogens but can be genetic or related to lifestyle/environment. Pathogens are organisms that cause disease by multiplying and spreading under the right conditions. The body has multiple lines of defense against pathogens, including physical barriers, non-specific immune responses like inflammation, and a specific adaptive immune response that recognizes foreign antigens.
Viruses in reptiles
There are many viruses that infect reptiles from different virus families such as Herpesviridae, Paramyxoviridae, Poxviridae, Adenoviridae, Papillomaviridae, Reoviridae, and Arboviruses. Many of these viruses cause respiratory, skin, or neurological symptoms in reptiles. However, little is known about the transmission and diseases caused by reptilian viruses due to the low commercial value of reptiles and difficulties in research.
Aedes albopictus
The Asian tiger mosquito, Aedes albopictus, is a small black and white striped mosquito that is an invasive species found worldwide. It is active year-round in warm humid climates and can survive in a variety of habitats. The mosquito is a vector for diseases like dengue fever, chikungunya fever, and yellow fever and was spread globally through international tire transport.

Ebola: separating fact vs fiction. An infographic journey!
This document provides an overview of the Ebola virus, separating facts from fiction. It discusses what Ebola is, its symptoms and incubation period. It examines how Ebola spreads and the role of bats in its transmission. It also looks at how contagious Ebola is and debunks claims of airborne transmission. Details are given about the current Ebola outbreak in West Africa, including case numbers and deaths. Potential treatments like ZMapp are also summarized.
Diseases cycle
The document discusses disease cycles involving insects and plant diseases. It includes an example of the typical disease cycle of anthracnose caused by Gnomia spp. and a diagram of the disease cycle of barley yellow dwarf virus transmitted by aphid vectors. It also shows the disease cycle of Stewart's bacterial wilt and blight caused by the corn flea beetle gut.
Maghaleh viruse
Rabies is a fatal viral disease spread through animal bites that kills over 50,000 people per year globally. While vaccination can prevent rabies in exposed people, there are currently no effective antiviral treatments for human rabies infections. This study evaluated two methods, cytopathic effect inhibition and MTT assay, for screening potential anti-rabies drugs in vitro, and found that only cytopathic effect inhibition was suitable for detecting antiviral activity against rabies in infected McCoy cells.
Virus
This document discusses how some viruses traditionally associated with illness, such as herpes, measles, and the common cold, may actually have beneficial medical applications. Specifically, it notes that deactivated forms of these viruses have potential as treatments for cancers like prostate cancer when injected into tumors, where they can infect and destroy cancer cells from within. The document also provides examples of recent studies exploring these virotherapy approaches and suggests they may be used together with chemotherapy.
SARS and MERS Coronaviruses
This document discusses SARS and MERS, two emerging coronaviruses that infect humans. Bats are believed to serve as natural reservoirs for these viruses, as well as others like Ebola and Nipah viruses. While research has focused on treatment and vaccines for SARS and MERS, not enough work has been done to understand how to prevent transmission from bats to humans in the first place. Controlling disease reservoirs, like efforts to curb mosquito populations for malaria, could help stop epidemics at their source and reduce costs compared to treatment-focused approaches. More research is needed on controlling viral diversity in bats and limiting their potential to spread disease.
Shingles: mini project
Shingles is caused by the varicella-zoster virus, which also causes chickenpox. After a person recovers from chickenpox, the virus can remain dormant in the nerve tissue and reactivate later in life as shingles. Shingles typically causes a painful rash that develops on one side of the body or face. The rash blisters and scabs over within 2-4 weeks. While shingles itself is not contagious, the virus can spread to those who have not had chickenpox if they come into direct contact with the rash blisters. Risk of shingles increases with age, with about half of cases occurring in people over 60 years old

It then lists and describes several major types of microorganisms that include protozoa, fungi, algae, viruses, and bacteria. The document provides some examples of diseases caused by different protozoan and fungal microorganisms. It notes that while most fungi have a symbiotic relationship with hosts, some fungi can cause infections in humans like candidiasis, oral thrush, athlete's foot, and aspergillosis.
Capstone Paper- Stacy and Vitalia FINAL
The document summarizes research on Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus mosquitoes as vectors of dengue transmission and prevention. It discusses the life cycle and morphological identification features of these mosquitoes. It also examines how Wolbachia bacteria can be used to inhibit dengue spread by inducing cytoplasmic incompatibility in mosquito eggs, reducing female lifespan, and causing proboscis deformities.
Ebola infection
This document discusses the Ebola virus outbreak in West Africa, providing background information on Ebola virus strains, transmission, symptoms, diagnosis and treatment. It notes that the current outbreak is the largest to date, with more cases and deaths than all previous outbreaks combined. While there is currently no proven treatment for Ebola virus disease, supportive care to treat symptoms is used. Recent research discussed includes the potential use of melatonin as a treatment and a cyanobacterial lectin displaying activity against the Zaire strain of Ebola virus. Scientists have also identified a potential universal drug target that is conserved across Ebola virus species.
Can insects spread COVID-19????
Insects are beautiful creature in nature and found in every environment on Earth. Many insects are considered to be pests by humans. However, some insects are crucial components of many ecosystems, performing many important functions such as pollination, decomposition and some insects produce useful substances, such as honey, wax, lac, silk, some insects act as food and medicine but some insects like mosquitoes, especially female ones act as vector for many bacterial and viral diseases because female mosquitoes needs nutrition contained in blood to help develop their eggs. Viruses take advantage of this biological requirement of mosquitoes to move from host to host. The mosquitoes spread pathogens by sucking our blood cause over half a million deaths each year and hundreds of millions of cases of severe illness. But there is no scientific evidence to suggest mosquitoes are transmitting SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19.
DeDengue fever
Dengue fever is caused by viruses transmitted through mosquito bites. The virus infects mosquitoes which then transmit the virus to humans during blood feeding. Common symptoms include high fever, headaches, muscle and joint pains. While there is no specific treatment, rest and fluid intake can help reduce fever. Preventive measures include wearing protective clothing, using mosquito nets, and removing stagnant water to prevent mosquito breeding.

1. Ebola Virus - Asher Liam Andrade
The Ebola virus causes severe hemorrhagic fever in humans and non-human primates. While fruit bats are believed to be the natural reservoir, the full life cycle of the virus is not yet known. Ebola is transmitted through direct contact with body fluids like blood, and has an incubation period of 2 to 21 days. Symptoms start with fever and weakness and progress to internal and external bleeding. The virus replicates rapidly within host cells, destroying tissues and organs before being shed to infect new hosts.

This document summarizes a webinar discussing zoonotic diseases like SARS, Ebola, and Nipah. It notes that over 60% of human infectious diseases come from animals. Diseases emerge at the human-livestock-ecosystem interface and are transmitted through direct or indirect contact with infected animals or disease vectors. Viruses often become more severe as they move between host species. For diseases like Ebola and Nipah, bats are typically the original host and intermediate hosts like pigs or non-human primates can transmit the diseases to humans. SARS-CoV-2 is closely related to coronaviruses found in bats and may have passed through intermediate hosts like pangolins before infectDarvie and k
Rabies is a viral disease transmitted through the saliva of infected animals that causes inflammation of the brain and is almost always fatal in humans if left untreated. It was first identified by Louis Pasteur in the 1880s who developed the first rabies vaccine by growing the virus in rabbits and weakening it. The first person successfully treated for rabies infection was a 9-year old boy in 1885. In the U.S., most rabies cases are found in wildlife such as raccoons, bats, and skunks. While human cases are rare, rabies prevention is important as the disease is nearly 100% fatal once symptoms appear.

Pandemics Week 3 Presentation Summary 1 D
Malaria remains a serious global health issue, infecting over 350 million people annually and killing over 1 million people, most in Africa. It is transmitted through the bites of infected female Anopheles mosquitoes. While some cases still occur in the United States, transmitted by two mosquito species, the largest burden is in developing countries where poor, vulnerable groups like children and pregnant women are most at risk due to limited access to prevention and treatment. Proper use of insecticide-treated bed nets and antimalarial drugs can effectively reduce transmission and save lives.

It is transmitted through the bites of infected female Anopheles mosquitoes. While some cases still occur in the United States, transmitted by two mosquito species, the large majority of global malaria cases and deaths are in Africa, where young children and pregnant women are most at risk. Prevention efforts focus on reducing mosquito bites through insecticides, bed nets, and antimalarial drugs.
Pandemics Week 3 Presentation Summary 1 D
Malaria remains a serious global health issue, infecting over 350 million people annually and killing over 1 million people, most in Africa. It is transmitted through the bites of infected female Anopheles mosquitoes. While some cases still occur in the United States, transmitted by two mosquito species, the largest burden is in developing countries where poor, vulnerable groups like children and pregnant women are most at risk due to limited access to prevention and treatment. Proper use of insecticide-treated bed nets and antimalarial drugs can effectively reduce transmission and save lives.
Plasmodium Falciparum
Plasmodium falciparum is a protozoan parasite and the most common, virulent, and deadly cause of malaria in humans. It is transmitted via the bites of infected female Anopheles mosquitoes. P. falciparum's lifecycle involves two hosts as it infects liver cells and red blood cells in humans. Destruction of red blood cells causes symptoms and can be fatal. Malaria disproportionately impacts sub-Saharan Africa and poses a major public health challenge.
Misconceptions About Ebola Virus Disease
The document discusses misconceptions about the Ebola virus, including that it is airborne, anyone infected will die, being around an infected person poses a high risk, and it can be transmitted through fruit. It notes some people believed doctors contracted it through the air, while others were trained it's not airborne but still believe air transmission occurred. One person thought mosquitoes could transmit it like malaria. The document examines misunderstandings about how Ebola spreads among various groups in West Africa.
Malaria Essay
Malaria is one of the most common and serious infectious diseases in the world, caused by a parasite transmitted through mosquito bites. It claims more lives each year than any other disease except tuberculosis. Children are especially susceptible and Africa suffers the largest burden, with 90% of global cases and 80% of deaths. The parasites infect liver cells and red blood cells, multiplying rapidly and causing symptoms like fever, chills and anemia when blood cells burst. While transmission typically occurs via mosquito bites, the disease can also be passed from mother to child or through blood transfusions.
Tick-Borne Case Study On Lyme
The document discusses Powassan virus, a rare but severe tick-borne illness. It can be transmitted from ticks to humans within minutes and cause neurological damage. Symptoms include fever, headache, vomiting, weakness, confusion, seizures and memory loss. While Lyme disease does not always cause symptoms, Powassan virus is considered more severe. The document asks if there are any vaccines or prevention methods for tick-borne illnesses.
Why do we fall ill
Disease is defined as an abnormal condition that affects the structure or function of an organism. Malaria is a mosquito-borne disease caused by Plasmodium parasites. It causes flu-like symptoms like fever and fatigue. Severe malaria from P. falciparum can cause complications like seizures, coma, or death if not treated properly. Malaria is treated with antimalarial drugs and prevented through mosquito control measures like insecticide-treated nets and indoor spraying.

Local Advanced Lung Cancer: Artificial Intelligence, Synergetics, Complex Sys...
Overall life span (LS) was 1671.7±1721.6 days and cumulative 5YS reached 62.4%, 10 years – 50.4%, 20 years – 44.6%. 94 LCP lived more than 5 years without cancer (LS=2958.6±1723.6 days), 22 – more than 10 years (LS=5571±1841.8 days). 67 LCP died because of LC (LS=471.9±344 days). AT significantly improved 5YS (68% vs. 53.7%) (P=0.028 by log-rank test). Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: N0-N12, T3-4, blood cell circuit, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells-CC and blood cells subpopulations), LC cell dynamics, recalcification time, heparin tolerance, prothrombin index, protein, AT, procedure type (P=0.000-0.031). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and N0-12 (rank=1), thrombocytes/CC (rank=2), segmented neutrophils/CC (3), eosinophils/CC (4), erythrocytes/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), stick neutrophils/CC (8), leucocytes/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (error=0.000; area under ROC curve=1.0).

Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune Disease
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.

We’re talking about Vedic Meditation, a form of meditation that has been around for at least 5,000 years. Back then, the people who lived in the Indus Valley, now known as India and Pakistan, practised meditation as a fundamental part of daily life. This knowledge that has given us yoga and Ayurveda, was known as Veda, hence the name Vedic. And though there are some written records, the practice has been passed down verbally from generation to generation.share - Lions, tigers, AI and health misinformation, oh my!.pptx

Malaria,Kevin M
- 1. Malaria How little stings can kill humans By:Kevin Mendez
- 2. Standards 10d Students know there are important differences between bacteria and viruses with respect to their requirements for growth and replication, the body’s primary defenses against bacterial and viral infections, and effective treatments of those infections. 1c Students know how prokaryotic cells, eukaryotic cells (including those from plants and animals), and viruses differ in complexity and general structure.
- 3. What is Malaria? Malaria is a disease caused by a mosquito named an Anopheles Mosquito. This parasite bites a human and infects it, little by little killing its victim.
- 4. What is an Anopheles? Anopheles is just another word for a mosquito carrying the infectious disease, Malaria. There are closely to about 460 species found, but over 100 of them are able to transmit this disease to humans.
- 5. How is Malaria Transmitted? The infection first starts with the parasite, in this case the Anopheles Mosquito biting one of the two victims. After, the infected mosquito bites its second victim, leaving an infected area, the disease starts spreading into the blood cells.
- 7. What are symptoms of Malaria? Some ways to recognize infection of Malaria include fever, shivering, vomiting, muscle aches, severe headaches, and anemia. After this stage of Malaria finishes, severe Malaria occurs because of organ failures and abnormalities in victim’s blood.
- 8. Fever Rates after infected
- 10. Areas infected by Malaria It was estimated that Malaria caused approximately 781,000 deaths in 2009. Mostly from African children.
