All About Malaria (Plasmodium Falciparum):

• Facts: Malaria, deriving from the Italian "bad air," is caused by the Plasmodium parasite transmitted through the bite of infected Anopheles mosquitoes.  The disease primarily affects tropical and subtropical regions, with severe cases leading to organ damage and death.
• Symptoms: From fever and chills to severe organ damage, malaria poses a significant health threat, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa.  The disease can manifest in various stages, ranging from mild flu-like symptoms to life-threatening complications.
• Treatment: While timely diagnosis and antimalarial drugs can treat malaria, increasing resistance to standard drugs poses challenges.  Efforts to develop effective vaccines and new treatment strategies are ongoing.
• History: From Laveran's discovery of malaria parasites to Ross's understanding of mosquito transmission, significant strides have been made in combatting this disease.  However, challenges such as drug resistance and limited access to healthcare persist in malaria-endemic regions.
