These parasites are Plasmodium falciparum‚ Plasmodium vivax‚ Plasmodium ovale and Plasmodium malariae. The major difference in these plasmodium parasites is that Plasmodium falciparum can cause life threatening malaria and the other three cause a weaker acting malaria. Malaria can be

It is carried by only by female mosquitoes residing in tropical and subtropical areas and is injected into unsuspecting human hosts by the bite of an infected mosquito. This particular Plasmodium is highly specific to infecting humans as we are the only vertebrates infected and the Anopheles mosquitoes are the vectors. (1).

studies suggest that mortality is high when a high proportion of measles patients have secondary cases (acquired through exposure at home). 1 According to Department of Health entomologist‚ Norma Joson‚ malaria is caused by four species of the Plasmodium parasite‚ namely P. falciparum‚ P. vivax‚ P. malariae and P. ovale. Only the first two are endemic to the Philippines. The parasite is primarily transmitted by the two species of Anopheles mosquito native to this country‚ the Anopheles flavirostris

A. Trachoma This is an infectious disease caused by the bacterium “Chlamydia trachomatis”. The infection causes the inner surface of the eyelids to become rough leading to pain in the eye‚ breakdown of the cornea and possible blindness. Untreated‚ repeated trachoma infections result in entropion - a painful form of permanent blindness when the eyelids turn inward‚ causing the eyelashes to scratch the cornea. Children are the most susceptible to infection due to their tendency to easily get dirty
