Malaria in West Africa by Angel De Leon

Map of West Africa

What is Malaria Most significant tropical disease Affects pregnant women and children Cause of a infected anopheles mosquito Million of deaths each year Happening 10,000 years ago

How Malaria Works Transmitted to you ◦ By infected anopheles mosquito Symptoms after transmission Treatment to treat after disease cache.net/xc/ jpg?v=1&c=IWSAsset&k=2 &d=77BFBA49EF ABF3343C02EA EBD4CE1D20613E95B247DF8DE3EA5C63A3E7 8FE8C0A25E30A760B0D811297

Transmission Caused by anopheles mosquito ◦ Has to be infected When bites you ◦ Parasite travels to liver ◦ Lives inside in person for almost a year ◦ After matures travels to bloodstream and affects red blood cells mb/w397h252_Malaria+transmission+cy cle.JPG

Symptoms Symptoms show after bite ◦ 7-15 days later Typical Malaria ◦ Headaches ◦ Body aches ◦ Weakness Complicated Malaria ◦ Chest pain ◦ Abdominal pain ◦ Coma 08n26/040624_mal2.gif

Treatment Choloroquine ◦ Treats and prevents Vaccination ◦ Not reality ◦ Sometimes killed people ◦ 7,000 cases of measles content/tp/uncategorized/2008/04/27/malaria_treat ment_k_gates_rbm_par_4.jpg

Preventions Bed nets ◦ Decrease deaths by 45% ◦ Reduces premature deaths by 42% ◦ Target women and small children Chloroquine ◦ Makes body immune to malaria ◦ Short period of time Removing waste water ◦ Remove breeding spots ploaded_images/bednet jpg

Death Rates World Health Organization (WHO) estimated how many people died (2006) ◦ 881,000 people died ◦ 91% are African Slowly is decreasing Organizations hope to end malaria deaths by

Economy in Africa Reduction of 20% in Gross National Product (GNP) Loss of 2% in Economic Growth ONE stated, African economy will lose 12 billion dollars next year

Solution Locals can’t do much ◦ Too poor to bring awareness ◦ Worst cases  Unemployed  Living in poverty  Child soldiers Organizations are helping ◦ United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) ◦ Malaria No More ◦ WHO content/uploads/homepage_spotlight_h older_1-1.jpg

How Organizations Help UNICEF ◦ Delivers insecticide treated nets (ITN’s) Malaria No More ◦ Helps donate ITN’s to the rural places World Health Organization (WHO) ◦ Brings treatment ◦ Chloroquine to help ages/UNICEF%20logo.gif ges/support_images/180px - Malaria_No_More_logo.jpg

Unrealistic Plans WHO and other organizations predict : ◦ No malaria deaths by 2015 ◦ Can cure any deaths My opinion ◦ Don’t think it will happen ◦ Deaths are still continuing to rise ◦ Need government help alariaMap.png

Timeline 2008 The First Malaria day was Established by the United Nations (UN) Floods had affected the rates of malaria in Africa. The waste in the water has become a new breeding spot for the mosquitoes Deaths in many African countries have reduced by 50%. es/climatologis.jpg v/geninfo/afrec/vol18no4/get ty_ jpg

Conclusion Malaria is an Obstacle ◦ Not for Africa only but the world  Reducing population  Killing children of future Ranks 3 rd among major infections and disease 300 million- 500 million suffer through disease ◦ 85% are Africans
