What is Malaria?
Malaria is an infection caused by a protozoan named Plasmodium, of which are two variants, Plasmodium vivax, and Plasmodium falciparum. These organisms are spread by mosquitoes to human hosts where they wreak havoc on the body, especially the blood.
When a mosquito bites, especially the female anopheles mosquito which feeds on human blood, it transmits the plasmodium into the human body through its saliva. Immediately the plasmodium parasite begins to multiply and attack the red blood cells.
This is when the symptoms of malaria begin to manifest, usually a week or two after the infection occurs. If left untreated, malaria can result to anemia and even death in some cases.
Symptoms of Malaria
These symptoms may vary from individual to individual, but these are the most common ones.
- Body pains, especially muscles
- Fever and chills sometimes with colds and catarrh
- Cough/sore throat
- Fatigue
- Headaches
- Loss of appetite
