Malaria is an infectious disease transmitted by the bites of mosquitoes infected with the malaria-causing parasite . After being bitten by an infected mosquito, the parasite infects human liver and red blood cells. Most malaria infections cause flulike symptoms (such as high fever, chills, muscle pain, diarrhea) that come and go in cycles as the disease progresses. One type of malaria may cause more serious problems, including heart, lung, kidney, or brain damage and possibly death. How do people become infected? You can become infected with malaria when you are bitten by a certain type of mosquito ( Anopheles mosquitoes) infected with the malaria parasite. In rare cases, people can get malaria if they come into contact with infected blood or a fetus may get the disease from its mother. You cannot get malaria by being near a person with the disease.

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."

Infectious diseases not necessarily common in Canada can occur and may even be widespread in other countries. Standards of hygiene and medical care may differ from those at home. Before departure, you should learn about the health conditions in the country or countries you plan to visit, your own risk of disease and the steps you can take to prevent illness. The risk is yours Your risk of acquiring a disease depends on several factors. They include: your age, gender, immunization status and current state of health; your itinerary, duration and style of travel (e.g., first class, adventure) and anticipated travel activities (e.g., animal contact, exposure to fresh water, sexual contact); as well as the local disease situation. Risk assessment consultation Health Canada strongly recommends that your travel plans include contacting a travel medicine clinic or physician 6 to 8 weeks before departure. Based on your individual risk assessment, a health care professional can determine your need for immunizations and/or preventive medication (prophylaxis) and advise you on precautions to avoid 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.***

mosquito net protection click arrows for more travel images click here for larger images Travel Health Help For years, travelers and outdoor enthusiasts have been in a constant battle with bothersome and sometimes dangerous insects. By far, the most dangerous of all insects is the common mosquito. For most people, mosquito bites are just an itchy annoyance but for millions of travelers, they can be a deadly transmitter of malaria, Japanese encephalitis, Dengue fever, West Nile virus, yellow fever, and a host of other terrible diseases. Naturally, we are well aware that a mosquito bite will have us itching like mad. There are a number of methods to soothe the itching like calamine lotion, aloe vera, or simply rubbing an aspirin over the bite. But while we are busy medicating the outside, the same bite can also infect a traveler with a harmful, sometimes deadly virus. Fortunately, protecting oneself from these pesky and hazardous insects is now easier than ever. Although immunizations and malarial prophylactics are an important part of any backpacker's safety strategy, it's best to avoid the insect bites altogether. The easiest and most efficient way to do this is by carrying a small, lightweight, and inexpensive

Malaria is the most important and the most widespread of the transmissible diseases. It threatens almost one third of Humanity, affects around 600 million people and is responsible, each year, for more than 2 million deaths. Caused by microscopic parasites, Plasmodia, this disease is transmitted by the bite of certain mosquitoes, the Anopheles. impact malaria Its symptoms include bouts of a special type of fever, as well as an increase in the volume of the spleen and various other disorders. But malaria may involve complications such as cerebral attacks causing a fatal coma, especially among young children living in malaria-endemic areas or among expatriates and tourists. plasmodium falciparum Globally, malaria thrives in various inter-tropical regions, with the obvious exception of the desert areas or high mountains. malaria news Beyond geographical or climatic factors, the frequency of the disease is essentially controlled by the mosquito vector. Certain species are, in fact, more active than others. This explains the frequency and the intensity of the infection in inter-tropical Africa and in certain regions of the Amazon Basin. On the other hand, the intensity of transmission is lower in other inter-tropical regions and especially in South East Asia. plasmodium malariae malaria paludisme The agents of malaria, called Plasmodia, are microscopic parasites measuring a few thousandths of a millimeter, which always develop inside host cells. Of the 4 plasmodial species that can live as a parasite in humans, Plasmodium falciparum, Plasmodium vivax, Plasmodium ovale and Plasmodium malariae, the most important is Plasmodium falciparum since it is both the most widespread and the only one capable of producing fatal complications. The Plasmodia develop inside red blood cells.

Malaria Malaria is a parasitic infection of red blood cells and the liver caused by any of four related species: Plasmodium falciparum, P. vivax, P. ovale, and P. malariae. Malaria is transmitted by female Anopheline mosquitoes, which typically bite between dusk and dawn. The chief symptoms are fever, sweats, chills, headache, body aches, and malaise, typically accompanied by anemia and enlargement of the spleen. Complications may include jaundice, low blood sugar, kidney failure, fluid in the lungs (pulmonary edema or ARDS), and circulatory collapse. Infections caused by P. falciparum are particularly dangerous because of a propensity for infected red blood cells to obstruct blood flow to the brain, causing seizures, impaired consciousness, and sometimes coma. It is essential for all travelers to take medication to prevent malaria when visiting any area where malaria occurs, especially sub-Saharan Africa, which accounts for a majority of cases of travel-related malaria. In the United States, most cases of malaria occur in travelers who did not take appropriate malaria prophylaxis. For countries where chloroquine-resistant malaria occurs, which includes most countries with malaria, there is a choice of three medications: mefloquine (Lariam) atovaquone/proguanil (Malarone)(PDF) , or doxycycline.
