Question: Describe how the malaria parasite is passed from one human to another?
Malaria is a disease caused by a type of parasite called Plasmodium. The parasite is passed from one human to another through the bite of an infected female mosquito. When the mosquito bites a person, it injects some saliva that contains the parasite into the person's bloodstream. The parasite then travels to the liver, where it multiplies and matures. After a few days or weeks, the parasite leaves the liver and infects the red blood cells, causing symptoms such as fever, headache, chills and anemia. Some people may develop severe complications such as organ failure, coma or death. Malaria can be prevented by using insect repellents, bed nets, and antimalarial drugs. It can also be treated with medication if diagnosed early.
