Malaria Jessy Cockrell

What is Malaria? A serious, and sometimes fatal disease caused by a parasite that invades the red blood cells of humans Plasmodium

Transmission Plasmodium infects the red blood cells of humans A mosquito (female Anopheles) feeds on humans and becomes infected with the parasite One mosquito can infect multiple people Blood transfusions, organ transplant, shared needles, mother to child in womb Non-contagious

Symptoms Flu-like symptoms Fever Shaking Chills Headache/Muscle ache Tiredness/fatigue Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea Anemia Jaundice Kidney failure Seizures Mental confusion Coma Death

Geographic Distribution Tropics Sub-Saharan Africa Southeast Asia

Mortality rates Globally in 2012, estimated 627,000 malaria deaths 219 million clinical cases 90% occurred in Sub-Saharan Africa 77% were children under the age of 5

Treatment Can be cured with prescription drugs, but needs to be caught early on It is a constant problem, but malaria cases have decreased 42% globally since 2000

Epidemic or Endemic? Endemic to the tropics Would be an epidemic in any area besides the tropics, but is not considered an epidemic there

Malaria drains economies of countries infected by it The countries infected by it are already among the poorer countries Endless cycle of disease and poverty
