If liver cells are effected by the plasmodium and cannot continue its job as the facilitator of digestion within the body. As the infected sporozoites enter the body, it migrate towards the liver. The sporozoites lay in the liver as it duplicates into tens of thousands of merozoites. This is also known as one of the incubation periods. At this point the victim is experiencing no symptoms.]]> 2022-01-10 18:36:24 UTC https://padlet.com/emilysvingen/mrgmdvs2wbv5j1cn/wish/1984514701 emilysvingen https://padlet.com/emilysvingen/mrgmdvs2wbv5j1cn/wish/1984939768 After the merozoites multiply, it then attaches itself and absorbed by erythrocyte red blood cells.]]> 2022-01-11 00:07:30 UTC https://padlet.com/emilysvingen/mrgmdvs2wbv5j1cn/wish/1984939768 emilysvingen https://padlet.com/emilysvingen/mrgmdvs2wbv5j1cn/wish/1984952928 Once the merozoites enter the red blood cells, they then are able to begin feeding onto the hemoglobin.

The best way to control the outbreak is to contain the vector (mosquitos). This will obviously create hazard in the food chain, so we cannot completely wipe out the insect population. ]]> 2022-01-11 02:07:12 UTC https://padlet.com/emilysvingen/mrgmdvs2wbv5j1cn/wish/1985077004 emilysvingen https://padlet.com/emilysvingen/mrgmdvs2wbv5j1cn/wish/1985096703 Those who carry the sickle-cell gene are protected from malaria. In sickle cell disease, red blood cells form into a sickle shape because of the lack of hemoglobin. With the lack of hemoglobin produced, there is not enough room in order for the protist from the malaria to multiply and to take over the bloodstream. This is why malaria is not able to take over people with this disease. For those who don't suffer from sickle cell disease, there is a higher chance of being infected by malaria.]]> 2022-01-11 02:22:55 UTC https://padlet.com/emilysvingen/mrgmdvs2wbv5j1cn/wish/1985096703 emilysvingen https://padlet.com/emilysvingen/mrgmdvs2wbv5j1cn/wish/1988697541 The mosquito is found in warm, subtropical climates.
