Similar to how health agencies in countries around the world encouraged people to get the COVID-19 vaccine, countries with high malaria cases can raise awareness among its citizens about the effects of malaria and encourage people to care about combating this disease. Local governments can encourage schools to teach the students about malaria and have the students teach their family members about the disease. Also, the department of health can carry out public lectures and seminars that educate people about the effects malaria have on the countries' economy and how to limit the spread of malaria to tackle the issues brought by malaria

The WHO recently approved the malaria vaccine for adults. The vaccine can effectively reduce the intensity of the symptoms caused by the malaria disease and strengthen the immune system's ability to fight the parasite. International alliances or wealthier countries can offer financial and technological support to the malaria-struck countries to improve their infrastructure and help distribute medicine

2. countries with more malaria cases are less developed. It is harder to distribute medication and/or establish infrastructures like clinics and hospitals there.

1. malaria parasite undergoes more than 10 stages in their life cycle, and makes medical targeting almost impossible

3. local people are used to seeing and having malaria and do not think it is an issue

# data[].attributes.body
malaria very common in places they are seen today

local people can contract malaria multiple times in their lives

# data[].attributes.body
local people have higher immunity towards malaria

The malaria parasite in the mosquito's salivary glands enters the bloodstream of the next person bitten by the mosquito.

# data[].attributes.body
Uninfected mosquitos will pick up the malaria sporozoites when they bite someone who is infected with malaria.

# data[].attributes.body
- Asexual multiplication
- Occurs while sporozoites are in blood
- Parasite moves to liver

# data[].attributes.body
The sporozoites in the blood enters the mosquito's stomach and reproduce through sexual reproduction.

# data[].attributes.body
After the female Anopheles mosquitos bite the human host, sporozoites enter the person's bloodstream through the salivary glands of the mosquito. The sporozoite reproduce in the human blood through asexual multiplication. This process is also called the Erythrocyte Reproduction.

# data[].attributes.body
The disease does not affect mosquitos. When the mosquito bites a human, however, the malaria parasite is transferred from the vector to the host.

# data[].attributes.body
The mosquito is a vector, or a carrier, for the malaria parasite.

# data[].attributes.body
- The sporozoites infect the liver cells and begin reproducing outside the blood. This process is called Exo-Erythrocytic Schizogony, or "outside blood reproduction".

- Like Erythrocytic Schizogony, Exo-Erythrocytic Schizogony is also asexual and done through binary fission of the sporozoite parasites.

# data[].attributes.body
Since liver processes waste materials in the blood, the malaria parasites, or the sporozoites, eventually end up the liver with ease.

- eukaryotic organisms

- The malaria parasite is also called a sporozoite.

- A sporozoite is an infectious, eukaryotic, uni-cellular organism

- Sporozoites belong to the protist phylum, under the protista kingdom.

The malaria parasites break down the hemoglobin in the red blood cells as a source of energy.

# data[].attributes.body
The sporozoites that enter the liver develop into trophozoites, which then mature into schizonts. When the schizonts rupture, merozoites are released. Some of the merozoites can develop into sexually reproducing parasites, and enter re-enter the bloodstream from the liver.

# data[].attributes.body
The sporozoites may have an incubation period in the person's liver that ranges from a few days to a week. During this period, the sporozoites do not destroy the liver cells.

Intervention #2 Avoid Contact With Mosquitos

# data[].attributes.body
Preventing mosquito bites in a world with high malaria cases may prove to be the most effective method to reduce the spread of malaria. Being bitten by a mosquito is the first step to a long and complex process of developing and maturing of the malaria sporozoites, and includes multiple stages where it is nearly impossible to target each stage with separate medicines. Thus, using mosquito nets or killing the mosquito groups around populated areas effectively and efficiently solves the problem of malaria spread.

Vaccines strengthens people's immune systems against malaria infection. This makes the immune system respond stronger when it identifies a malaria parasite and makes the recovery time spent from malaria shorter.
