Views to stop spread of malaria!!! The parasites that cause malaria are transmitted by a species of insects which are known as the female Anopheles mosquitoes. These parasites multiply within the red blood cells (which are commonly abbreviated as the RBC’s). These parasites cause the symptoms of anaemia‚ which also includes light-headedness‚ shortness of breath‚ tachycardia‚ etc. They also cause such general symptoms as fever‚ chills‚ influenza (which is commonly abbreviated as flu)-like

specifically the Mimosine has lethal effect on adult mosquitoes. This study will provide information about Mimosa pudica extract (mimosine)‚ its minimum lethal concentration and duration of effect on the specified type of mosquitoes (Aedes aegypti and Anopheles). This is an experimental study to test the effectiveness of Mimosa pudica as mosquitocidal agent. The data collection will use primary type through observation of different tests done to identify the mosquitocidal effect of Mimosa pudica. Objective

In this sense‚ the host could be humans‚ animals or plants. These vectors have contributed to the epidemic of so many diseases. Different diseases are transmitted by different vectors but some ailments share common vectors. For instance female anopheles mosquitoes are responsible in transmitting malaria and yellow fever in humans (Mueller et al‚ 2007)‚ while ‘plague’ is transmitted by fleas. As for plant diseases‚ many of them are transmitted by aphids. These vectors have different modes of spreading

According to the Journal of Vector Ecology (2012 p37) stated that “The management of insecticide resistance among malaria vectors needs urgent attention if insecticide-treated materials can continue to be used for malaria control.” Metarhizium anisopliae‚ a fungal pathogen of terrestrial arthropods‚ kills the aquatic larvae

Mosquitoes thrive in moist and relatively warm environments just like what Tropical Countries are. Tropical Countries are home to most number of species of mosquitoes. Our country‚ the Philippines‚ is among the Tropical Countries. Culex‚ Aedes‚ and Anopheles are among the most common species of mosquitoes and they carry a vicious disease namely Dengue‚ Malaria and Yellow Fever which can kill a human. These diseases are common yet deadly diseases to us and the number of victims are still drastically increasing

The Plasmodium parasite that can cause malaria is neither a bacterium nor a virus therefore it is a single-celled parasite that multiplies in red blood cells of humans as well as in the mosquito intestine.

Malaria in Africa Malaria has been known to exist for thousands of years‚ with its signs documented as early as 5000 years ago in ancient Chinese and Egyptian records. Through out these thousands of years‚ it is believed that this disease has evolved and adapted to its surroundings. Malaria is a parasitic disease in the blood that causes flu-like symptoms. Some signs of this disease include fever‚ chills‚ muscle pain‚ headache‚ nausea‚ vomiting‚ and may also cause jaundice and other serious complications

: Plasmodium Species : vivax Habit s and habitat:- Plasmodium is an intracellular sporozoan parasite causing malaria in man. The parasite lives in the RBC’s and liver cells of man and alimentary canal and salivary glands of female Anopheles mosquito. Structure:- Structure of plasmodium is different stages of its life cycle. A fully grown malarial parasite is amoeboid and uninucleated structure known as trophozoite. Trophozoite is surrounded by double layered plasma lemma. Cytoplasm
