Question

Explain what causes malaria in human symptoms.

Answer 1

1. These signs happen because of how Plasmodium parasites live and reproduce in humans.
2. When a sick female Anopheles mosquito bites a person, it injects sporozoites, which infect hepatocytes in the liver.
3. After copying themselves, they come out as merozoites, which infect red blood cells and start new copies of themselves.
4. When red blood cells break, merozoites are released, which causes fever and chills. Anemia, tiredness, and weakness are all caused by the death of red blood cells.
5. In addition, the release of harmful byproducts causes headaches, muscle pain, and feeling sick.
6. Malaria can cause serious problems, like breathing problems and fever, because it damages many organs and makes the immune system fight the infection.
