Increased cases of malaria?!


Question: Increased cases of malaria!?
why has there been an increased prevalence of malaria in the past decadeWww@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
This could be attributed to changing weather conditions in the last decade-el nino,lanina etc since the disease causing mosquitoes are known to hide and breed in dump places!.Increase in world population in the last decade is also a factor since we have more people being exposed to the desease-mark you expectant mothers and little children are the ones mostly prone and ravaged by the desease!.
Lastly we can say increased poverty in the last decade also springs up as a factor since we find very few people(especially in third world countries) can afford preventive measures like sleeping in mosquito treated nets!Www@Answer-Health@Com

Malaria is one of the most common infectious diseases and an enormous public health problem!. The disease is caused by protozoan parasites of the genus Plasmodium!. Only four types of the plasmodium parasite can infect humans; the most serious forms of the disease are caused by Plasmodium falciparum and Plasmodium vivax, but other related species (Plasmodium ovale, Plasmodium malariae) can also affect humans!. This group of human-pathogenic Plasmodium species is usually referred to as malaria parasites!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
