Malaria

1. Malaria
How little stings can kill
humans
By:Kevin Mendez

2. Standards
 10d Students know there are important differences
between bacteria and viruses with respect to their
requirements for growth and replication, the
body’s primary defenses against bacterial and
viral infections, and effective treatments of those
infections.
 1c Students know how prokaryotic cells,
eukaryotic cells (including those from plants and
animals), and viruses differ in complexity and
general structure.

3. Standards
 10d -This standard makes sure students know that
a virus or bacteria caused by a sting from the
mosquito can affect the body. The body tries to
take the infections out and sometimes can’t do it
without the help of vaccine(s).
 1c –This standard lets students know that different
prokaryotic cells, eukaryotic cells, and viruses
have different properties to them and generally
have different structure.

4. What is Malaria?
Malaria is a disease caused by
a mosquito named an
Anopheles Mosquito. This
parasite bites a human and
infects it, little by little killing its
victim.

5. What is an Anopheles?
Anopheles is just another word
for a mosquito carrying the
infectious disease, Malaria.
There are closely to about 460
species found, but over 100 of
them are able to transmit this
disease to humans.

6. How is Malaria Transmitted?
The infection first starts with
the parasite, in this case
the Anopheles Mosquito
biting one of the two
victims. After, the infected
mosquito bites its second
victim, leaving an infected
area, the disease starts
spreading into the blood
cells.

8. What are symptoms of
Malaria?
Some ways to recognize infection
of Malaria include fever,
shivering, vomiting, muscle
aches, severe headaches, and
anemia.
After this stage of Malaria finishes,
severe Malaria occurs because
of organ failures and
abnormalities in victim’s blood.

10. How Malaria is
treated(Vaccine needs)
GlaxoSmithKline Biologicals' (GSKBio)
RTS,S also known as Mosquirix, is the
vaccine that can treat Malaria which
was finally made in 2011, over 13
years in making.
These vaccines have proven to lower
the risk of children experiencing
“clinical” malaria and severe malaria
by 56% and 47%.

12. Areas infected by Malaria
It was estimated
that Malaria
caused
approximately
781,000 deaths in
2009. Mostly from
African children.
