Mosquitoes, Malaria And Dengue

1945 — Fri, 11 Feb 2011 08:17:14 +0000

Mosquitoes live in the area most of the world. They were born in the water, and not too much where they spent about two weeks going through the stages of eggs, larvae and pupae are located. As an adult, she lived in another eight weeks.

The mouth of the mosquito has become specialized in piercing the skin and make juice.Men use this intelligence to remove the juice from the plant, but women have a blood meal to lay eggs and than 3,500 mosquito species worldwide, some species feed on humans.

This feature means that the females of certain species of mosquitoes can be carriers of some infectious diseases. This disease has an impact on and murder of millions of people every year. Two of these diseases are malaria and dengue fever

Malaria is caused by infected mosquitoes bite people with eukaryotic protist genus Plasmodium (and sortnd monkey). The disease is widespread in Africa, America and Asia, but it was eradicated from Australia in 1981. Europe used to be infected as well, but now largely free of malaria, although not from mosquitoes.

The disease is caused by the multiplication of the malaria parasite in red blood cells, similar to the evidence that creates a headache and fever – something like a severe case of flu. In acute cases this can lead to coma and death.

Prevention is better than cure, then the first thing you should do is try to prevent the proliferation of mosquitoes by getting rid of the unnecessary amount of water no matter how small and how it broke. Second, efforts to prevent them from biting you by using mosquito repellent and insect nets treated with pesticide.

There is no lasting vaccine that stops you get malaria, but there are medications available to those who get malaria occur in a short time. Most forms of malaria can be successfully treated, although there is evidence of resistance to some anti-malarial drugs.

Dengue fever is spread by mosquitoes in particular. The symptoms of dengue fever vary, but they almost always a headache and sometimes joint pain and rash. The disease is rarely fatal, but can if develop into dengue hemorrhagic fever or dengue shock syndrome (a blood pressure is extremely low body makes a mistake).

There are four types of dengue fever. Because he is one, patients have lifelong immunity that strain, but only a temporary immunity from the other three. As with malaria, no vaccine against dengue fever. The only attack is to minimize the number of mosquitoes and the number of bites.

While the incidence of malaria infection by the drop, the rising incidence of dengue infection. Dengue is now endemic in more than 110 countries. It usually takes 4-7 days for the disease after infection to show themselves, so any indication of the flu as it appears within one week after returning from an area known to have dengue fever should be treated seriously, particularly because many doctors in the West might ignore real source of the problem.
