Malaria, West Nile and other mosquito borne diseases, Nancy Day, Enslow, 2001, USA ||  || Symptoms- High fever, cycles of chills and fever, hemorrhaging, encephalitis. But sometimes the symptoms can be very mild and hard to know if infected. Causes- Female mosquitoes bites humans to get the nutrients from the blood but if the mosquito bites an animal that has been infected before, the blood they take in will contain disease causing organisms. Then if the mosquito bites into a human, the disease causing organisms are passed down into the human, through the saliva glands. ||  || Your name: Gerald Shaw

 * Malaria in humans is cause by one of four species of protozoan parasites of the genus Plasmudium
 * After reading about Malaria I realized that the main reason malaria kills so many people each year is that the people who get infected are the people who has barley enough to eat. And it would be very hard for them to get proper treatment. And another reason is that the people are too poor to afford a decent house, the houses they live in contain many holes which mosquitoes can easily pass through.

 * Treatment- It is still unknown how some people start to develop Malaria after being infected by a parasite named Plasmodium from an Anopheles mosquito's bite. But there are drugs that are active against the parasites forming in the body. examples of these drugs are, chloroquine, sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine, and atovaquone-proguanil. Many doctors are still trying to find a complete cure of Malaria that has little or no side effects.
 * * Awareness of risk.
 * Bite avoidance.
 * Chemoprophylaxis (taking preventive medicines if you are traveling to or living in a malaria region).
 * Diagnosis made promptly with early treatment of an infected case.
