Malaria means "bad air."  It is caused by a parasite of the genus Plasmodium. There are four species that cause it: P. vivax, P. ovale, P. falciparium, and P. malariae.\nThese parasites are injected into your body during the bite of a Anophelese mosquito, or they can be passed from mother to baby.  \nOnce in the body, the parasites infect your liver, then your red blood cells.  Infected cells become filled with young parasites and burst open - killing the cell in the process.\n\nAll I know about the treatment of Malaria is that it can cause a G-6-PD deficiency anemia in some genetically predispositioned folks.  Sorry.

It's a new species of Plasmodium that was isolated from Malagasy birds of family Vangidae (vangas). The description was originally published in the Journal of Parasitology in 2005.

Plaquenil (Hydroxychloroquine) is an anti-malarial drug that is also helpful for rheumatic diseases such as Lupus and Rheumatoid Arthritis. The use of anti-malarials for rheumatic diseases began in 1890, when European doctors who prescribed quinine for malaria noticed a positive effect in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). In the 1940’s, arthritis patients who took a new synthetic anti-malaria pill called chloroquine reported reduced symptoms. Unfortunately, serious eye problems related to the size of the daily dosage limited chloroquine’s use. In the 1960’s Plaquenil (Hydroxychloroquine) was introduced, and it has been shown to have less potential than chloroquine to cause retinal toxicity. However appropriate monitoring of the eye by a medical eye specialist familiar with anti-malarial side-effects is essential.hope this has helped :)

I am an alternative medicinal therapist and an ex nurse in the UK. Usually malaria tablets are taken one week before you go on holiday. I find that i cannot take them they make me feel sick and give me a headache. It's the quinine in them. You may have a bug or it may a reaction to the tablet.Ask for a different type.\n\nGloria(BSYA)

One of the most common diseases in Africa is malaria, so there would be any number of ways to research that.  Also, I heard today on Ghanaian news that there has recently been a cholera outbreak in Accra.  There are any number of focuses you could choose.  You could work with child immunization (for polio or something similar), tuberculosis treatments, diabetes treatments, etc.  The field is wide open.

Depending on where you heard it, it could be referring to:\n\n ** Demal 200 - a malaria treatment that comes from the homeopathic system of medicine.\n\n ** A unit of concentration, equal to the concentration of a solution in which one gram-equivalent of solute is dissolved in one cubic decimeter of solvent.

Malaria is caused by plasmodium falciparum, a bacteria that can be found in mosquito saliva.  As a result of being bitten by the mosquito, p. falciparum causes the individual's red blood cells to burst open, or "lyse".  This is a problem for individuals in Africa, where p. falciparum is common.  Africans have evolved to have their cells "sickle", or change to a crescent shape.  Sickle cells do not lyse in the presence of plasmodium falciparum, but as you probably know, it creates other problems (so it's an evolutionary "trade off").  Sickle cells dont flow through capillaries well, and therefore they cause a log jam in the capillaries, effectively blocking off efficient blood flow to the organ they are supplying.  This can cause those tissues to die in the area of blockage, something called an "infarct".  In sickle cell patients, splenic infarcts are very common, for example, so their spleens often have to be removed.  Hope this helps!!!!

Maybe your question is unclear to me, but asthma is not caused by any of those parasites.  \n\nPlasmodium is the parasite that causes malaria.\n\nI'm not familiar with saccharomycetes, but if you mean Saccharomyces cerevisiae, then that's just baker's yeast, or the yeast genome. \n\nLeishmania is a parasite spread by sand flies and causes leishmaniasis, a pretty nasty disease actually. \n\nToxoplasma is a parasite you get from undercooked meat or exposure to cat feces.  \n\nCan you word the question better perhaps?

The World Health Organization has approved indoor use of the pesticide DDT. DDT, a chemical that repels and kills insects, will lower the death rate in malaria-affected regions, such as Africa, Asia, and other countries as well. The organization believes that appropriate use of DDT can temporarily control malaria DDT, to this date, remains the only pesticide for this task. However, the opposing side of DDT, the Pesticide Action Network North America, argues that it may cause health problems in children. The side effects include premature birth and development delay. Early forms of DDT also had effects on the environment, including the thinning of bird eggshells and population decline in certain species. The spokesperson of PANNA also insists that malaria can be treated with other less harmful chemicals. One of the less harmful chemicals, pyretheroids, was banned.\n\n\nim not sure about that end part. thats not the end is it??

Doxycycline is a tetracyline antibiotic that kills certain bacteria that cause infection or stops their growth. It’s used to treat many kinds of infections of the skin, bone, stomach, respiratory tract, sinuses, ear and urinary tract. Doxycycline also treats Lyme disease, all forms of Anthrax and certain sexually transmitted diseases. For those who travel to certain parts of the world where malaria is prevalent, doxycyline can be given to suppress the disease. Doxycycline is the preferred medication for elderly patients exposed to all forms of Anthrax. \nCommon Side Effects\nIf you experience any of the following serious side effects, stop taking Doxycycline and consult your health care provider immediately. Dark yellow or brown urine; difficulty breathing; increased sensitivity to the sun or ultraviolet light; headaches; itching in the rectal or genital area; stomach pain or cramps; skin rash or itching; tingling or numbness of the hands or feet; unusual bleeding or bruising; unusual tireness or weakness; yellowing or eyes or skin. \n\nIf you experience any of the following less serious side effects, talk to your doctor:\n\ndiarrhea; discolored tongue; loss of appetite; nausea, vomiting or sore mouth. \n\nContraindicators (drugs that should only be taken with a doctor’s permission while taking Doxycycline)\n\nDo not take antacids that contain magnesium or aluminum (such as Tums or Rolaids); barbituate medicines for inducing sleep or treating seizures (convulsions); calcium salts; carbamazepine; cholestyramine; colestipol; digoxin; female hormones including contraceptive or birth control pills; ferrous sulfate; magnesium salts; other antibiotics; phenytoin; or sodium bicarbonate\n\n Before taking Doxycycline, tell your doctor if you are taking any prescriptive medicines or over the counter medicines such as nutritional supplements, or herbal products. Also tell your doctor if you frequently drink caffeine or alcohol, if you smoke or if you use illegal drugs.

Homeostasis is a general concept in biology which you can look up on wikipedia. Malarial mosquitoes, like all organisms, need to maintain homeostasis in order to survive. Perhaps you are reading your homework question the wrong way.
