Malaria From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Malaria Red blood cell infected with P.vivax Malaria Italian bad air "; formerly called ague or marsh fever in English ) is an infectious disease which in humans causes about 350-500 million infections and approximately 1.3 million deaths annually, mainly in the tropics Sub-Saharan Africa accounts for 85% of these fatalities. Malaria is caused by the protozoan parasite Plasmodium (one of the Apicomplexa ) and the transmission vector for human malarial parasite is the Anopheles mosquito . The P. falciparum variety of the parasite accounts for 80% of cases and 90% of deaths. Pregnant women and infants under the age of five are most vulnerable to malaria. For his discovery of the cause of malaria, French army doctor Charles Louis Alphonse Laveran was awarded the Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine in . Britain's Sir Ronald Ross also received a Nobel prize (in 1902) for describing the life cycle of the malaria parasite as it develops in the bodies of its mosquito and human hosts.

Causes, incidence, and risk factors Return to top Malaria is caused by a parasite that is transmitted from one human to another by the bite of infected Anopheles mosquitoes. In humans, the parasites (called sporozoites) migrate to the liver where they mature and release another form, the merozoites. These enter the bloodstream and infect the red blood cells. The parasites multiply inside the red blood cells, which then rupture within 48 to 72 hours, infecting more red blood cells. The first symptoms usually occur 10 days to 4 weeks after infection, though they can appear as early as 8 days or as long as a year later. Then the symptoms occur in cycles of 48 to 72 hours. The majority of symptoms are caused by the massive release of merozoites into the bloodstream, the

Special Reports SERVICES Video E-mail Newsletters CNNtoGO SEARCH Web CNN.com Report: Fort Bragg killings, malaria drug not linked Story Tools WASHINGTON (CNN) Military investigators have found no evidence that the anti-malarial drug Lariam was a contributing factor in the killings of four Army wives, allegedly by their husbands, U.S. Defense Department sources Wednesday told CNN. The Army plans to release next week results of an investigation of the circumstances surrounding the deaths of the women, whose husbands were based at Fort Bragg, North Carolina. In three of the deaths, the men accused had recently returned from Afghanistan. Questions had been raised about whether side effects of Lariam, which has been administered to the military for duty in Afghanistan, had contributed to violent behavior. The drug is known chemically as mefloquine hydrochloride. Roche Laboratories, the drug's manufacturer, acknowledges the substance may cause mental disturbances ranging from anxiety to psychotic behavior. A Web site medical brochure warns against the use of the drug by patients "with a recent history of depression, generalized anxiety disorder, psychosis, or schizophrenia or other major psychiatric disorders."

Dr. Wenceslaus Kilama, Chairman, Malaria Foundation International WELCOME TO AFRICA FIGHTING MALARIA Africa Fighting Malaria is an NGO which seeks to educate people about the scourge of Malaria and the political economy of malaria control. We have highlighted the effectiveness of the pesticide DDT as one of the solutions to fighting the disease. We believe that global health organizations must be free to employ all available tools to fight malaria and that the limited use of DDT for spraying homes and hospitals is a powerful and necessary tool in this fight.

Any returning traveler who develops a fever that lasts more than a few days requires prompt medical attention to screen for a malaria infection. While malaria medications such as chloroquine, doxycycline, or mefloquine (Lariam) can prevent symptoms of acute malaria from developing by suppressing the infection in the bloodstream, they do not prevent relapses of infection caused by certain strains of the parasite that have a persistent liver phase.

Transmission and Symptoms Malaria Risk by Country Prevention Antimalarial Drugs Purchased Overseas ... Countries included in this region. Transmission and Symptoms Malaria is a serious disease transmitted to humans by the bite of an infected female Anopheles mosquito. Symptoms may include fever and flu-like illness, including chills, headache, muscle aches, and fatigue. Malaria may cause anemia and jaundice. Plasmodium falciparum infections, if not immediately treated, may cause kidney failure, coma, and death. Malaria can often be prevented by using antimalarial drugs and by using personal protection measures to prevent mosquito bites. However, in spite of all protective measures, travelers may still develop malaria. Malaria symptoms will occur at least 7 to 9 days after being bitten by an infected mosquito. Fever in the first week of travel in a malaria-risk area is unlikely to be malaria; however, any fever should be promptly evaluated.
