     Extractions: (malaria) Malaria has been recognized as an important parasitic disease of humans for centuries, having been described by the early Egyptians in the third millennium B.C. Despite the introduction of control programs in many parts of the world over the past few decades, the impact of malaria on human populations continues to increase. Recent estimates suggest (1) that 1.5 billion persons live in areas of the world where malaria is an endemic disease, (2) that the number of infected humans exceeds 500,000,000, and (3) that 1-2 million persons die each year. Four species of Plasmodium infect humans and cause malaria. All species are vector borne diseases, being spread by anopheline mosquitoes , and the disease is distributed throughout much of the world ( view distribution ). In the human host the parasite is found primarily inside of the red blood cells (RBC). The parasite reproduces asexually inside of the RBC, and following this the RBC breaks open releasing many new parasites (merozoites). These parasites then infect more RBC's, and this ultimately leads to the destruction of massive numbers of RBC's. The characteristic "chill and fever" (paroxysm) associated with malaria occurs when the parasites are released from the RBC's, and since the release of parasites is periodic, the paroxysms are periodic. For examples, the paroxysms associated with a tertian malaria (e.g., Plasmodium vivax ) occur about ever 48 hours, and those associated with a quarten malaria (e.g.

     Extractions: Within South Africa's borders the disease is encountered mainly in northern and eastern Mpumalanga, northern Kwa-Zulu Natal, and the border areas of the Northern and North West provinces. Considering South Africa's neighbours, malaria is also considered to be a threat to travellers visiting the lower lying areas of Swaziland, while it is encountered throughout Mozambique and Zimbabwe, and much of Botswana. Northern Namibia is also a malarious area.

     Extractions: Malaria is a disease of the blood that is transmitted to people by infected mosquitoes. Malaria is very common throughout the world. In the United States, the main risk is to persons traveling to tropical and subtropical countries where malaria is a problem. What is the infectious agent that causes malaria? Malaria is caused by any one of four species of one-celled parasites, called Plasmodium . The parasite is spread to people by the female Anopheles mosquito, which feeds on human blood. Although four species of malaria parasites can infect humans and cause illness, only malaria caused by Plasmodium falciparum is potentially life-threatening.

     http://www.aafp.org/afp/990501ap/2523.html
     
     Extractions: Advanced Search A patient information handout on preventing malaria, written by the author of this article, is provided on page 2535. The prevention of malaria in travelers is becoming a more challenging clinical and public health problem because of the global development of drug-resistant Plasmodium strains of malaria and the increasing popularity of travel to exotic locales. Travelers can reduce their risk of acquiring malaria by using bed netting, wearing proper clothing and applying an insect repellent that contains N,N-diethyl-meta-toluamide. Chloroquine, once the standard agent for weekly malaria prophylaxis, is no longer reliably effective outside the Middle East and Central America because of the emergence of resistant Plasmodium falciparum strains. Mefloquine is now the most effective and most recommended antimalarial agent on the U.S. market; however, the side effects of this agent have begun to limit its acceptance. Doxycycline is effective for malaria prophylaxis in travelers who are unable to take mefloquine. Daily proguanil taken in conjunction with weekly chloroquine is an option for pregnant patients traveling to sub-Saharan Africa. Terminal prophylaxis with two weeks of primaquine phosphate can eliminate an asymptomatic carrier state and the later development of malaria in newly returned long-term travelers with probable exposure to

     Extractions: Disease Index NJ InTouch What You Should Know About. . . Malaria What is Malaria? Malaria is an illness caused by infection of the red blood cells with the parasite Plasmodium . There are four types (species) of Plasmodium that can infect humans, Plasmodium falciparum, Plasmodium malariae, Plasmodium vivax, and Plasmodium ovale . Each causes slightly different symptoms. Plasmodium falciparum is the most serious and may be life-threatening if not treated quickly. P. vivax, P. ovale and P. malariae require a second medication after primary treatment to prevent relapses. Who gets Malaria? Nearly anyone can get malaria, however there are certain genetic traits that do provide some protection from malaria. Most black Africans show a natural resistance to infection with Plasmodium vivax due to the absence of a specific factor on the surface of their red blood cells. Persons with sickle cell trait also have resistance to Plasmodium falciparum and are relatively protected from severe illness. How is Malaria spread?

     Extractions: aktuelle Hinweise Landesweit besteht eine erhöhte Infektionsgefahr für diverse Infektionskrankheiten (z.B. Hepatitis A, Typhus, Bakterienruhr, Amöbenruhr, Lambliasis, Wurmerkrankungen) die durch verunreinigte Speisen oder Getränke übertragen werden. Daher sollten stets sorgfältige Nahrungsmittel- und Trinkwasser-Hygienemaßnahmen durchgeführt werden. Bei Reisen in Länder mit einem erhöhten Hepatitis A-Vorkommen ist ein Hepatitis A-Impfschutz generell empfohlen. Bei Reisen unter einfachen hygienischen Bedingungen, in Regionen mit erhöhten Typhusvorkommen, ist ein Typhus - Impfschutz sinnvoll. Vor dem Verzehr und Kauf von Lebensmitteln aus billigen Straßenrestaurants und von Märkten wird gewarnt. Cholera Erkrankungsfälle werden gelegentlich aus diversen Landesteilen u.a. den Distrikten Abidjan, Adzope, Bondoukou, Boundiali, Dimbokro, Ferkessedougou, Korhogo, Man, San Pedro, Seguela und Toouba gemeldet. Die Infektionsgefahr bei Touristen ist jedoch als sehr gering (ca. 1 : 500.000) einzustufen. Daher ist eine Impfung in der Regel nicht empfohlen, sorgfältige Hygienemaßnahmen sollten stets eingehalten werden.
