Page 1 of 6 Life Cycle of Malaria Page 2 of 6 Malaria is an ancient disease transmitted by the Anopheles mosquito that predates recorded history. Historically it was common in the swampy areas around Rome‚ and was believed that the tainted air in those locations made people very sick‚ the disease was therefore named malaria for the Latin root words bad air. Malaria is caused by small parasitic protozoa of the genus Plasmodium which infects both humans and mosquitoes in a cyclical process.

What is Dengue fever? Dengue fever (pronounced Den-gay) is a viral infection caused by the female mosquito (Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus). Dengue fever occurs in tropical and sub-tropical regions and usually increases in the hot and humid months. Dengue fever is not a new disease. It was discovered several hundred years ago. In recent years‚ dengue fever has become a major international public health concern. Dengue fever nicknamed "breakbone fever" because dengue patients usually express

induced emf or voltage in a coil is proportional to the rate of change of magnetic flux through a coil‚ this is shown blew: Ƹ= -dɸ/dt Equation 6.1 The flux of the magnetic field is defined and the following: ɸ=BAcosΘ Equation 6.2 B is the magnetic field at the location of the coil. A is the cross sectional area of the coil‚ and Θ is the angle between the field and the area A. There is several different ways to create a changing flux though the coil. An easy way is to use

Build A Coil For Refrigeration Have you ever wondered what keeps the soft drinks cool when you buy one at the convenience store‚ or what keeps the food fresh at restaurants? Without this product called a coil that I assemble at my job‚ drinks‚ dairy products and other produce wouldn’t be kept cool for your convenience. For the first step to build a coil‚ the customer sends an order in‚ then the order comes to my department so I will know what kind of coil to build. The coil is made

The Zika virus can be contracted by being bitten by the mosquito Aedes aegypti. Puerto Rico being an island where is warm all year round makes the perfect breeding environment for this mosquito. At least 117 people have tested positive for the Zika virus in Puerto Rico and five of them are pregnant women. The Zika virus in Puerto Rico‚ how did it get there? Is the population in Puerto Rico able to fight this epidemic? How can the people in the island protect themselves from acquiring this virus?

closed circuit is equal to the time rate of change of the magnetic flux through the circuit. Under Faraday’s Law‚ electric current is induced only if either the magnetic field is changing or the conductor is moving. Generators‚ for example‚ spin a coil of wire around a magnet to produce a steady current” [3]) did electricity become viable for use in technology. Since this electricity and the inventions that came with it has exploded as the worlds knowledge of electromagnitism has broadends and advances

remained one of the major public health problems in Nigeria. The obstacle to the success of malaria control and prevention interventions are both behavioral and non behavioral. The behavioral factors relate to cultural practices which promote mosquito breeding and mosquito access to people as well failure of the risk population to use technologies proven to be effective for the treatment‚ control and prevention of malaria promptly and appropriately. The main non-behavioral factors include geographical or

number of coils‚ can pick up paperclips? IV = voltage of the battery DV = number of paperclips Constants: trials‚ number of coils‚ battery HYPOTHESIS: If the amount of voltage (IV) is increased‚ the number of paperclips (DV) will increase as you pick them up. This is because the higher the voltage‚ the stronger the energy produced in the coil around the metal rod. EXPERIMENT (PROCEDURE): Materials used: 6 volt battery Coils Partner(s) to hold coil and metal

through the bite of an infected Aedes species mosquito. This brings a big threat into our lives‚ as we are in areas that consist of mosquitos frequently. Its most common symptoms are fever‚ rash‚ joint pain‚ and conjunctivitis: generally are mild and last from a few days to a week (‘’Zika virus’’8). With the Zika virus spreading like wildfire from mosquito to human‚ we have to be more onboard with promoting bug spray to protect against the bite of mosquitos. Another concern of medical researchers‚ is

an in depth comparison between the 4 strains of Dengue Fever. The research documented here was designed to try to determine which strains are the most common‚ virulent and contagious‚ and their affects on humans. Dengue fever is the most common mosquito transmitted disease in humans and also potentially life threatening. With their being no current laboratory or animal models of this disease available for study‚ the pathology and growth of this disease has been hard to examine and therefore‚ hard
