Malaria • a vector-borne disease caused by single
celled parasites, the Plasmodium protozoa, and transmitted by female Anopheles mosquitoes.
• Characterized by malarial paroxysm of chills, fever and sweats.
Still an enormous pubic health problem and one of the most common infectious diseases.

History of malaria
• Malaria has infected humans for over 50,000 years.
• first recorded in 2700 BC in China.
• originates from Medieval Italian:
• mala aria — "bad air";
• was formerly called ague or marsh fever due to its association with swamps and marshland

History of malaria• 1880, a French army doctor
first observed parasites in patient’s RBC. the 1907 Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine.
• 1898, Britain's Sir Ronald Ross finally proved that malaria is transmitted by mosquito.(1902 Nobel Prize)
Charles Louis Alphonse LaveranMuller : Swiss chemist, discovered DDT to kill mosquito in 1930’ (1984 Noble)Wagner : Austrian psychiatrist , used the high fever of malaria to treat dementia in stage-III syphilis(1927 Nobel)

Etiology
• Plasmodium protozoa– P. falciparum (the deadliest);– P. malariae ;– P. ovale ;– P. vivax (the most common);
• Within each species there are variant strains.

summary
• Malaria is a vector-borne parasitic disease caused by plasmodium protozoa
• All the four species plasmodium need anopheles mosquitoes and human to complete it’s life cycle.
• Transmitted by a bite of anopheles mosquito.• Characterized by the malaria paroxysm (chill, high
fever,and sweats)• The thick film and thin film can diagnose a malaria.• Use the blood schizonticides and gametocides
simultaneously to kill the parasite.• Prevention refers to the cases management, vector control,
personal protection, vaccine and chemoprophylaxis.• Malaria is still a enomous public health problem world
wide.

Why are malaria cases increasing?
• Drug resistence
• No vaccine
• Wars

Do all mosquitoes transmit malaria?
• No. So far, entomologists have identified over 2000 species of mosquito, but only the Anopheles mosquito actually transmits malaria. In Africa, the major vectors for malaria are An. gambiae sl complex and An. funestus, and there are many members of both groups of mosquito. Most Anopheles mosquitoes do not feed during the day but rather do so at dusk or during the night. An. funestus for example feeds most actively between 2am and 4am.
