<p>Of all the possible diseases you can get while traveling overseas, none of them cause more concern or strike up fear like malaria, and for good reason. It is estimated to be up to a half a billion cases of malaria annually with about 1 million deaths, particularly among young children.These are some of the small measures that you can take as an individual to try and avoid the spread of malaria. You can also speak to your friends to spread the awareness on malaria and help the government by implementing malaria treatment guidelines in your immediate surroundings. Now you know the most essential steps towards combating malaria.Humans have been succumbing to malaria since earliest times, the enlarged spleens of some Egyptian mummies are surviving traces of its presence. Hippocrates described the 'autumnal fever' in Greece. The association of malaria with the Pontine Marshes in Rome was well established. Alexander the Great is thought to have died on the banks of the Euphrates
from malaria in 323 BC. Malaria may have stopped the armies of both Attila the Hun and Genghis Khan Even the dinosaurs may have suffered from malaria. If this is true, the disease has had ample time to exploit the immune system. Mice, birds, porcupines, lemurs, monkeys, bats, snakes and flying squirrels have malaria. The mosquito and its parasite, Plasmodium falciparum, are ancient creatures.The risk of malaria is high in South America, Africa, south-east and Far East Asia. But this should be taken only as a guide as the risk can change and it is advised that expert advice be obtained before traveling to a potentially malarial destination. You are advised to take preventative drugs a week before entering the malarial area, continue during the trip and for four weeks after returning home.Malaria is a severe disease that can be fatal, but can be treated with antimalarial drugs. Treatment for malaria is with drugs, although resistance is increasing. Each is effective under cer
tain circumstances and in certain regions of the world. Treatment depends on the type of malaria, the resistance of the parasite to the drugs and the severity of the disease.Malaria is commonly associated with poverty, because poorer people are more likely to become infected. However, Malaria is also a cause of poverty because it hinders economic development. Malaria is also becoming a problem for wild populations, such as African penguins. African penguins are particularly vulnerable to the malaria parasite because they are considered to be and are classed as a "naive" population.The charitable organization, Malaria No More, was a recipient of a portion of the funds raised by "Idol Gives Back." This particular charity's goal is to promote awareness of malaria in Africa, in both the public and private sectors, and to help those communities obtain resources, such as mosquito nets, to prevent the spread of mosquito-related illnesses.Africa Malaria Day, April 25, is a reminder
that Malaria is one the deadliest diseases in the world -- killing more than one million people per year, mostly poor women and young children in tropical countries. Because of this urgent need, in 2002, Freedom from Hunger, with help from the drug company GlaxoSmithKline, launched an anti-malaria pilot program in six West African countries.What exactly is cholera? Cholera is a sometimes-fatal acute infectious inflammatory disease of the intestine. It is prevalent in Asia, and is caused by Vibrio cholerae, (DMD). The disease is characterized by severe diarrhea, and vomiting, causing extreme fluid and electrolyte loss, accompanied by muscle cramping and weakness, (DMD). It is sometimes called Asiatic cholera, (DMD).That is how a very simple but important issue that ought to have been addressed with some forethought and commonsense was converted to be a complex and complicated matter with frightening consequences of unimaginable proportions.
