Mosquito malaria (German: Malarienetz) is a species of mosquito from the genus Anopheles, which transmits the causative agent of malaria - Plasmodium falciparum. This infectious disease is caused by a parasite that lives inside a person's red blood cells and causes severe illness, including prolonged and recurring fever with blood loss and other complications. If malaria is not treated, the patient may die.
Transmission of the infection occurs when an infected mosquito bites and injects its salivary sac containing parasites into the bloodstream. With this disease, symptoms appear after five days from the time of the bite, usually causing headaches, bleeding, fatigue, nausea, vomiting and fever. Other signs may include paralysis, itchy skin, body rashes and other symptoms associated with blood loss. If treated promptly, malaria is curable, but the disease can lead to serious complications such as ophthalmia (eye disease) and congenital vision defects, blood clots, heart or brain damage, and hearing loss. Mortality from malaria accounted for approximately 20% of all patients with fever; among children this figure reached 50%. Treatment for malaria involves taking medications that kill the parasite inside red blood cells. Over-the-counter medications contain pyrethroids (such as cypermethrin and chlorpyrifos). They should be taken in accordance with the instructions for use. In parallel and after treatment, it is necessary to take folic acid in order to calm inflammation and reduce the risk of hemorrhagic diathesis. Infection of the mosquito can occur at any of the stages of mosquito development: during hatching, feeding, mating and laying eggs. The most contagious painter is at the third stage of development - when it develops a mouth opening. It is this mosquito that should be destroyed. Transmission of pathogens from person to person is impossible. Malaria coma is quite common in tropical countries in Africa and Asia. Yes, according to
