2. CAUSES OF MALARIA
Malaria is a mosquito-borne infectious disease
of humans and other animals caused by
parasitic protozoans. It is a type of single cell
microorganism of the plasmodium
type. The disease is transmitted by the bite of
an infected female Anopheles mosquito. The
female Anopheles mosquito is the only insect
capable of carrying the human malaria parasite.
3. SYMPTOM OF THE DISEASE
It causes Fever , Fatigue, Vomiting and Headaches.
It destroys red blood cells in the liver.
It digests a cell's hemoglobin, multiplies inside to the point
of rupturing the cell, and rapidly spreads a new generation of
infection.
4. DIAGNOSIS AND REMEDIES
The malaria is typically diagnosed by the microscopic examination
of blood using blood films with antigen- based rapid diagnostic
tests.
The disease can be reduced by preventing mosquito bites by using
mosquito nets and insect repellents or with mosquito-control
measures such as spraying insecticides and draining standing water.

6. CAUSES OF GIARDIASIS
Giardiasis (popularly known as beaver fever) is a zoonotic
parasitic disease caused by the protozoan Giardia lamblia .
The giardia organism inhabits the digestive tract of a human.
It is the most common pathogenic parasitic infection in humans.
7. SYMPTOM OF THE DISEASE
Symptoms include loss of appetite, diarrhea, loose or watery
stools, stomach cramps, upset stomach, projectile vomiting
(uncommon), bloating, excessive gas, and burping (often sulfurous).
The incubation period for giardiasis is 9–15 days.
Giardiasis should be considered as a cause of vitamin B12
deficiency as a result of the problems caused within the intestinal
absorption system.
8. DIAGNOSIS AND REMEDIES
diagnosis of giardiasis is microscopic examination of the stool.
Boiling suspect water for one minute is the surest method to make
water safe to drink and kill disease-causing microorganisms.
the washing of hands before handling food.
