Human malaria likely originated in Africa and coevolved with its hosts, mosquitoes and other animals. Malaria is divided into primate, rodent, bird, and reptile host lineages which means they can each spread the disease to other people
It's also been known about / existed for most of human history as even the name has historical meaning (malaria and miasma meaning bad air, a common though of what casued disease back in the day)
The disease has been around for about as long as humans it seems
It is spread by mosquitos
The maleria vibes inthe body and once it reaches the liver it has a feast and hides in its cells and spreads though out the body
There is a contreversial vaccine penty fo rygs and new medication like hyper parasites and genetic mosquitos (more preveention)
Malaria is transmitted by infected mosquitoes that are carrying the malaria parasite. When they bite you, the parasite enters your bloodstream, then it is carried to the liver where it will start multiplying.
They need to reproduce and it gets onto other mosquitos when they bite a maleria infected person
It does some meduka damage , then it goes to the liver (vital organ) and goes rambo mode and like a pyscho path it puts on the skin/membrane of the dead liver cells over it so it's not detected and can avoid the detection of the police (immune system)
It then proceeds this across the whole body and the body reacts heavily causing diahrore blood shot eyes etc and the reaction is so bad you eventually die from loss of fluid or if it gets to ur brain ur fucked
The blood and all is the body expanding the supply routes (blood) so your immune system can reach it quicker but this can work back against it
Once malaria parasites enters your body its dormant for a long time, the symptoms will appear within 10 days- 4 weeks of the parasite entering, with a chance of it not appearing for months. There are multiple symptoms that include:
When going to a country with malaria, to avoid getting it , you should do these following things:
but yeah for extremem measures entire countries have to be shut down but for most cases just don't touch your face , be wary of people and wash your hands
Antimalaral drugs are usally good - there are two reliable types (there is more but they kinda dodgy), these however are more preventive than anytthing else as they stop the maleria during tere reproductive stage in the liver basically giving enough time for the immune system to catch up
as well as drugs there are also hyper-protists/parasites (yes the parasite of parasites) currently there is a search to find one to tackle malaria but its a new concept and saftey is questionioned
Another solotion well under way is genetic engineering to stop mosquitos spreading it (they don't like it ither) however then maleria could just find another bug smh
Once it comes out of the liver and the body doesnt detect it it moves and repeats the processin the liver its game over and ver slowly your body will be degydrated and die , once it gets in ur brain u can get a com(m)a and die
Thanks lol
