And with global warming threatening to increase mosquito density and the spread of other mosquito borne infections like Dengue and Chikungunya, time has come for all of us to wake up.

Native Planet Health Malaria What is Malaria? Why do you need to be concerned about Malaria? Why is Malaria spreading? Among my biggest concerns is disease, specifically malaria. I contracted malaria a few times during my travels, but the last time I nearly perished from a resistant strain I caught in Irian Jaya. For two and half years, I had re-occurrences every three months. Those painful attacks and the terrible side effects from Larium (also called Mefloquine) led me to do much research on the subject. I discussed my problem with specialists in the States, Europe and Asia. Malaria and its treatment remains a very controversial subject (many scientists and doctors remain in disagreements). In this page, my intention is to educate people about the dangers of Malaria, but also on the responsibilities of all travelers in the third world to do their part to both stay safe and not perpetrate resistant strains amongst the local people.

Latest travel health news Advertisement Home Travel health Travel health facts Malaria Written by Dr Charlie Easmon , specialist adviser in travel medicine What is malaria? Malaria is a potentially fatal tropical disease that's caused by a parasite known as Plasmodium. It's spread through the bite of an infected female mosquito. The infected person may have feverish attacks, influenza-like symptoms , tiredness, diarrhoea or a whole range of other symptoms. Malaria should always be suspected if these symptoms occur within the first year of return from an infected area, and a test should be carried out to exclude the possibility of malaria as soon as possible. Malaria is one of the leading causes of disease and death in the world. It is estimated that there are 300 to 500 million new cases every year, with 1.5 to 2.7 million deaths worldwide. Malaria occurs extensively in tropical and subtropical regions.

There are several species (kinds) of Plasmodium that cause malaria in people: Plasmodium falciparum Plasmodium knowesli Plasmodium malariae Plasmodium ovale Plasmodium semiovale Plasmodium vivax P. vivax and P. falciparum cause the most malaria in people. Falciparum malaria is the worst kind, and kills the most people. People usually get malaria from the Anopheles mosquitoes . The Plasmodium goes into people by mosquitoes bites. The
