Malaria is a life threatening disease caused by plasmodium parasites that are transmitted to people through the bites of infected Female ANOPHELES MOSQUITOES.  This mosquito then injects the parasite into the bloodstream, where it travels to the liver and begins to multiply.

After a few days, the parasites begin to circulate in the bloodstream and infect red blood cells. The parasites then begin to multiply within the red blood cells, causing them to rupture and release toxins into the bloodstream. malaria is  common in tropical and subtropical countries why it's uncommon in temperate climate.

In 2020, there were 241 million cases of malaria worldwide. The estimated number of malaria death in 2020 was 627,000.

Nigeria as an African country had 31.9% of malaria death, Nigeria had the highest percentage of malaria death.

The roles of mosquitoes in spreading malaria 

Malaria spreads when an infected mosquito bites an infected person, and the infected mosquito then bites a noninfected person. The malaria parasite enter the bloodstream of such an individual and goes to the liver. When this parasite matures, it leaves the liver and infect the red blood cells, and when this happens, the symptoms begin to surface.

Parasites That Causes Malaria

There are five types of parasites that causes malaria in humans, which are;

•  Plasmodium falciparum
•  Plasmodium malariae
•  Plasmodium vivax
•  Plasmodium knowlesi
•  Plasmodium ovale

Two of these above species poses greater treat; PLASMODIUM VIVAX and PLASMODIUM FALCIPARUM.

The most deadliest and prevalent malaria parasite in Africa as a continent is PLASMODIUM FALCIPARUM.

Possible Symptoms of Malaria

These may include:

• Chills or shivering
• General feeling of discomfort
• Diarrhea
• Fever
• Abdominal pain
• Muscle or joint pain
• Fatigue
• Headache
• Rapid heart rate
• Cough
• Rapid breathing
• Nausea and vomiting

Best options For Treatment Malaria

Malaria is treated with prescription drugs to kill the parasite. The types of medication and the length of treatment will vary, depending on:

• The type of parasite that causes the malaria
• The severity of it
• Age

Best way to prevent malaria

Some common prevention of malaria are;

• preventive chemotherapy (use of medicine, either alone or in combination)
• vector control (the use of treated insecticide nets and indoor residual spraying)
• The use of vaccine

Some common malaria drugs includes;

• Artemisinin-based combination therapies(commonly called ACTM)
• Chloroquine phosphate.

Other means of preventing malaria are:

The use of;

• Antimalarial soap(made from karate citronella and other herbs)
• 
  
• Antimalarial tea (made from Chinese sweet wormwood plant)
• 
  
•  Antimalarial cream

PLASMODIUM FALCIPARUM, if not treated can progress to severe illness and death within a period of 24 hours.

As the world keeps cutting across the edge of technology, certain devices has been developed to prevent and cultured the spread and contamination of malaria, such devices are;

• Mosquito repellent wrist band, 
• thermal cell radius zone mosquito repellent, 
• ultrasonic anti malaria repellent.
