Malaria The malaria parasite attacks the blood and causes recurring chills, fever, and sometimes jaundice and anemia. Malaria is very common throughout the world. In the United States, the main risk is to persons traveling to tropical and subtropical countries where malaria is a problem. No vaccine against malaria is available. Travelers can protect themselves by using anti-mosquito measures and by taking drugs to prevent malaria. Malaria is a disease of the blood that is transmitted to people by infected mosquitoes. Malaria is very common throughout the world. In the United States, the main risk is to persons traveling to tropical and subtropical countries where malaria is a problem. What is the infectious agent that causes malaria? Malaria is caused by any one of four species of one-celled parasites, called Plasmodium . The parasite is spread to people by the female Anopheles mosquito, which feeds on human blood. Although four species of malaria parasites can infect humans and cause illness, only malaria caused by Plasmodium falciparum is potentially life-threatening.

Whine with punch Malaria on the rebound... Malaria is an ancient disease caused by a blood-borne parasite that infects and then destroys red blood cells. Malaria victims can suffer repeated episodes of fever, or anemia or death. A female Anopheles gambiae mosquito feeding on a person. Anopheles transmit the malaria parasite. Photo courtesy of CDC, viewed at National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases After years of decline, malaria is on the move, and despite the recent headlines given to the "catch-me-you're-dead" Ebola virus, it's malaria that counts its victims in the millions: the disease infects about 400 million people each year, according to the World Health Organization About 1,200 Americans are infected with malaria each year; most while traveling abroad. The 1995 Michigan case was not the only recent infection in temperate parts of the United States: in 1993, two people in New York City, which is at least 1,000 miles north of malaria country, caught the ancient illness from mosquitoes that had fed on infected people in the area. Since the outbreak limited itself, mosquito-control efforts were not needed (see Mosquito-transmitted malaria...

Some of the merozoites form gametocytes, the sexual stage, which mate inside a mosquito, helping transmit malaria. The original sexual predator? POSTED 6 JAN 2000 Malaria it's so common you can't even count the death toll. Is it one million? Is it three million, mainly pregnant women and the young? We don't know, nor can we count the annual disease toll between 300 to 500 million people, mainly in the tropics. Although malaria is seldom fatal, it can cause coma, mental retardation, or rupture of the spleen. Even though malaria mainly afflicts people with impaired cash flow, making it a bore to the money-mad medical machine, scientists are still trying to figure out how the parasite works, and how to fight it. For a lowly parasite, the various species of protozoans in the genus Falciparum have lots of nasty tricks. They can change their coating to evade the immune system, be spread by mosquitoes a wily foe that no amount of insecticide can eliminate, and

December 27, 1999 Web posted at: 9:49 AM EST (1449 GMT) In this story: Safe and effective Use with caution RELATEDS By Kathleen Doheny (WebMD) Chills, malaise and headache could signal the flu. But in some parts of the world, those symptoms bringing with them the possibility of kidney failure, coma and even death usually mean one thing: malaria. No vaccine for malaria is on the market yet, so people traveling to high-risk areas must make do with taking whatever precautions they can like wearing long sleeves and long pants to guard against mosquito bites, a common route of infection. Travelers are also usually advised to take antimalarial drugs such as chloroquine, just in case. But some strains of the parasite Plasmodium falciparum, which causes the most serious form of malaria, have grown resistant to chloroquine. In recent years, one antimalarial drug, mefloquine, sold under the brand name of Lariam, has increasingly been prescribed.

The World Health Organization reports that there are 300 to 500 million clinical cases of malaria each year resulting in 1.5 to 2.7 million deaths. Scientists and policy makers are currently debating over the best strategies for control and/or eradication of this devastating disease.

The Malaria Clock: A Green Eco-Imperialist Legacy of Death Vea esta página en Español (FAEC) In April 1972, after seven months of testimony, EPA Administrative Law Judge Edmund Sweeney stated that “DDT is not a carcinogenic hazard to man. ... The uses of DDT under the regulations involved here do not have a deleterious effect on freshwater fish, estuarine organisms, wild birds, or other wildlife. ... The evidence in this proceeding supports the conclusion that there is a present need for the essential uses of DDT.”* Two months later, EPA head [and Environmental Defense Fund member/fundraiser] William Ruckelshaus - who had never attended a single day’s session in the seven months of EPA hearings, and who admittedly had not even read the transcript of the hearings - overturned Judge Sweeney’s decision. Ruckelshaus declared that DDT was a “potential human carcinogen” and banned it for virtually all uses.** Since Ruckelshaus arbitrarily and capriciously banned DDT, an estimated cases of malaria have caused immense suffering and poverty in the developing world.***

Newswatch Last Updated: Saturday, 8 February, 2003, 15:48 GMT E-mail this to a friend Printable version Malaria Malaria kills over a million people a year and is second only to tuberculosis in its impact on world health. The parasitic disease is present in 90 countries and infects one in 10 of the world's population - mainly people living in Africa, India, Brazil, Sri Lanka, Vietnam, Colombia and the Solomon Islands. There are four main types of malaria, all spread via mosquitoes. Ninety per cent of all malaria cases are in sub-Saharan Africa where it is the main cause of death and a major threat to child health. Worldwide, a child dies of malaria every 30 seconds. Pregnant women are also particularly vulnerable to the disease, which is curable if diagnosed early. The economic impact of the disease is immense, causing many lost days of work and loss of tourism and investment. What are the symptoms? Most people survive a bout of malaria after a 10-20 day illness, but it is important to spot the symptoms early. The first is high fever, followed a few hours later by chills. Two to four days later, this cycle is repeated. The most serious forms of the disease can affect the kidneys and brain and can cause anaemia, coma and death.

A hundred years after the discovery that mosquitoes transmit the malaria parasite, the complete genetic codes of both the human malaria parasite and the mosquito that spreads it have been deciphered by an international team. Knowing the mosquito genome may help researchers identify genes involved in the insect's ability to host the parasite Don Kennedy, Science "It will be a little while before the knowledge provided by the genome projects is translated into practical tools but this will happen and malaria will finally be brought under control," commented Professor Brian Greenwood, from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, UK. "Current attempts to control malaria with drugs and insecticides are in danger of failing because of the problems of resistance and there is no immediate prospect of a vaccine.
