MALARIAA disease of the developing world
The Physical, Human, and Environmental factors which contribute to the spread of the disease
![Page 4: Malaria Power point revision With updates at the end](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032703/56649d025503460f949d5a63/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
The physical factors
These are landscape, and climatic factors.
![Page 5: Malaria Power point revision With updates at the end](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032703/56649d025503460f949d5a63/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
The physical factors
Malaria is found between 65degs N and 40degs S and below 3000m in altitude.
![Page 6: Malaria Power point revision With updates at the end](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032703/56649d025503460f949d5a63/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
The physical factors
The anopheles mosquito needs humidity of 60% (not less than 25%), and mean monthly temperatures of over 18degs C (but above 32 degs C survival rates fall).
![Page 7: Malaria Power point revision With updates at the end](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032703/56649d025503460f949d5a63/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
The physical factors
The female mosquito needs human blood as food to complete the breeding cycle, but can survive on animal blood which keeps the disease ever present.
![Page 8: Malaria Power point revision With updates at the end](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032703/56649d025503460f949d5a63/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
The physical factors
They need still (stagnant) water surfaces as breeding areas, but these areas do not need to be large.
![Page 9: Malaria Power point revision With updates at the end](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032703/56649d025503460f949d5a63/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
The physical factors
Water in a hoof print, an old tin can, a used tyre, all the way up to irrigation ditches, padi fields, and reservoirs offer potential breeding sites to anopheles mosquitoes.
![Page 10: Malaria Power point revision With updates at the end](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032703/56649d025503460f949d5a63/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
The human factors
These are factors created by human activity.
![Page 11: Malaria Power point revision With updates at the end](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032703/56649d025503460f949d5a63/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
The human factors
Nearby settlements to provide a ‘blood reservoir’ for female mosquitoes.
![Page 12: Malaria Power point revision With updates at the end](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032703/56649d025503460f949d5a63/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
The human factors
Mosquito breeding is encouraged by bad sanitation and poor irrigation or drainage that leaves standing water uncovered – eg. tank wells, water barrels.
![Page 13: Malaria Power point revision With updates at the end](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032703/56649d025503460f949d5a63/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
The human factors
Migration is now very common and this makes it easier for the disease to spread.
![Page 14: Malaria Power point revision With updates at the end](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032703/56649d025503460f949d5a63/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
The human factors
Exposure of bare skin on a nightly basis, from dusk until dawn results in the spread of the disease.
![Page 15: Malaria Power point revision With updates at the end](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032703/56649d025503460f949d5a63/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
The human factors
People living in overcrowded conditions provide an easier target for the mosquitoes.
![Page 16: Malaria Power point revision With updates at the end](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032703/56649d025503460f949d5a63/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
The environmental factors
These are factors created by the background environment.
![Page 17: Malaria Power point revision With updates at the end](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032703/56649d025503460f949d5a63/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
The environmental factors
Hot wet climates such as those experienced in the tropical rainforests or monsoon areas of the world.
![Page 18: Malaria Power point revision With updates at the end](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032703/56649d025503460f949d5a63/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
The environmental factors
Regularly flooded areas with poor drainage which have standing water for long periods.
![Page 19: Malaria Power point revision With updates at the end](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032703/56649d025503460f949d5a63/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
The environmental factors
Areas of shade in which the female mosquito can digest human blood.

MALARIA Control methods and their effectiveness
Attempts to eradicate the mosquitoes:
![Page 22: Malaria Power point revision With updates at the end](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032703/56649d025503460f949d5a63/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
MALARIAAttempts to eradicate the mosquitoes:
Insecticides(all oil-based) – eg DDT – however this was deemed environmentally harmful – impacts on the food chain. In addition the mosquitoes build up a resistance to chemical insecticides. Malathion was popular – now banned by EU.
![Page 23: Malaria Power point revision With updates at the end](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032703/56649d025503460f949d5a63/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
MALARIAAttempts to eradicate the mosquitoes:
However countries which haven’t used DDT for decades (South Africa, Ethiopia, Mozambique, and Zambia) are now using it again for indoor spraying at lower concentrations.
![Page 24: Malaria Power point revision With updates at the end](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032703/56649d025503460f949d5a63/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
MALARIAAttempts to eradicate the mosquitoes:
It is proving effective, as the mosquitoes seem to have lost their tolerance for it. Its environmental effects should be reduced as this is not the blanket spraying of the past.
![Page 25: Malaria Power point revision With updates at the end](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032703/56649d025503460f949d5a63/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
MALARIAAttempts to eradicate the mosquitoes:
Mustard seeds – become wet and sticky and drag mosquito larvae under the water – this drowns them.
![Page 26: Malaria Power point revision With updates at the end](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032703/56649d025503460f949d5a63/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
MALARIAAttempts to eradicate the mosquitoes:
Vegetable oil sprayed on the surface of standing water suffocates the mosquito larvae.
Only a thin film required, but environmental side effects to consider.
![Page 27: Malaria Power point revision With updates at the end](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032703/56649d025503460f949d5a63/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
MALARIAAttempts to eradicate the mosquitoes:
Egg-white sprayed on water – suffocates larvae by clogging up their breathing tubes. Perhaps impractical and wasteful of food.
![Page 28: Malaria Power point revision With updates at the end](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032703/56649d025503460f949d5a63/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
MALARIAAttempts to eradicate the mosquitoes:
Bti bacteria grown in coconuts. Fermented coconuts are, after a few days, broken open and thrown into mosquito infected ponds. The larvae eat the bacteria and have their stomach lining destroyed!!
![Page 29: Malaria Power point revision With updates at the end](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032703/56649d025503460f949d5a63/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
MALARIAAttempts to eradicate the mosquitoes:
Cheap, environmentally friendly and 2/3 coconuts will control a typical pond for up to 45 days. However, wastes potential food.
![Page 30: Malaria Power point revision With updates at the end](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032703/56649d025503460f949d5a63/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
MALARIAAttempts to eradicate the mosquitoes:
Larvae eating fish – effective (provided they aren’t eaten before the end of the malaria season) and a useful additional source of protein.
![Page 31: Malaria Power point revision With updates at the end](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032703/56649d025503460f949d5a63/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
MALARIAAttempts to eradicate the mosquitoes:
Drainage of swamps and standing water – requires much effort – not always practicable in the tropics with constantly high rainfall.
![Page 32: Malaria Power point revision With updates at the end](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032703/56649d025503460f949d5a63/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
MALARIAAttempts to eradicate the mosquitoes:
Planting eucalyptus trees that soak up excess moisture. However they are non native trees and often struggle to adapt to the conditions. They are also cut down for fuel use.

MALARIATreating those suffering from malaria:
Artemisinin – from the Artemisia plant - is showing real promise, but fears of resistance build-up mean it should only be used in combination treatments to maintain effectiveness.
![Page 38: Malaria Power point revision With updates at the end](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032703/56649d025503460f949d5a63/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
MALARIATreating those suffering from malaria:
Vaccines – none yet available. Several have looked promising and led to field trials eg. in the Gambia, but have not prevented malaria infections.

Updates on the fight against Malaria
The WHO reported recently that it expects Artemisinin to have become almost ineffective in the next 4 to 5 years, owing to resistance becoming widespread in the Plasmodium parasite.
![Page 55: Malaria Power point revision With updates at the end](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032703/56649d025503460f949d5a63/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
The latest scientific development is WMD (weapon of mosquito destruction) which is in the lab development stage (sponsored by the Gates Foundation).
This involves equipment which detects the wing beat of female mosquitoes and zaps them with a laser. This makes them less likely to bite, and therefore to breed.
