- One of the most characteristic symptoms of malaria is the alternation of attacks (involving a cold phase, a hot phase, and a sweating phase) with periods of 1 or 2 days of no or few fevers. Given the life cycle of Plasmodium what is the best explanation for this pattern: When free in the blood, merozoites release chemicals that directly cause body responses. Merozoites appear in coordinated “waves”, which explains the cycling attacks Merozoites entering the red blood cells generate a strong response from the red blood cells, which stimulates a massive immune response Attack phase correlates with simultaneous bursting of infected red blood cells, releasing thousands or millions of merozoites. This triggers massive immune response, resulting in symptoms Plasmodium generates a constant accumulation of irritants in the blood, mostly residues from digesting hemoglobin . Once the amount reaches a critical level, these trigger a massive immune responsearrow_forwardDescribe the life cycle of Paragonimus westermani and its method of transmission to humans with crayfish and snail as the intermediate hosts. Show in a diagram and an explanation.arrow_forwardIn terms of geographical distribution, are parasitic flagellates (e.g., Trypanosoma spp., Leishmania tropica, Giardia lamblia, Trichomonas) cosmopolitan or localized?

- Malaria disease is characterized by cycles of symptoms that last 4-8 hours and have 3 stages; a 15-to-60 minute cold stage when you shiver and feel very cold, a 2-6 hour hot stage when your fever may reach as high as 41oC and finally, a 2-4 hour sweating stage during which your fever drops rapidly. These cycles are called paroxysms. Explain why they typically happen in malaria patients based on the pathogen life cyclearrow_forwardPlasmodium is the most deadly parasite globally. There are nearly 250 million new cases of malaria diagnosed each year. Discuss at least two mechanisms that this parasite uses within its host(s) to persist, manipulate, and/or propogate.arrow_forwardDiseases caused by different types of pathogens have their own seasonality. That is, there is a higher frequency of bacterial and viral diseases in winter and a higher frequency of fungal and parasitological problems in summer. I explain winter, you explain summer. In winter, people are indoors with frequent touching of the same surfaces, breathing of the same air, as well as frequent contact. Bacterial diseases spread through touching of common surfaces while viral diseases also are spread through breathing in of infectious aerosols (someone’s sneeze, microbes in recycled air). Therefore the incidence of bacterial and viral diseases are greater during the winter. Why are fungal and protozoan diseases more important in the summer? (3 good reasons).arrow_forward

Be careful to specify if it is a physical method or a chemical method .Control of growth means how would you deal with an infection related to a person as well as how would you minimize the presence of the bacteria on a surface or object.arrow_forwardSeasonality of a disease can relate to weather patterns rather than seasons. Malaria is a prime example and has a seasonality related to water and the wet season vs. the dry season. Explain why considering the vector.arrow_forward
