Malaria Reports Samples For Students

Article Summary

According to a Greece based aid organization, the cut on Greece’s health service budget, characterized by health service cuts and 40% diminution in hospital funding according to Reveka Papadopoulos, has hurled HIV/AIDS and Malaria incidences. Notably, the cut was further marked by a plethora of job losses. As Jon Henley reports from Athens, increase in HIV/AID incidences among intravenous drug users in Central Athens has hit a record 1,250% with malaria increasingly becoming endemical in Southern Greece only ten months after the budgetary allocation for health provision in Greece was cut; an increase that according to MSF Greece comes as a ...

Summary:

The world today is characterized by inequity in terms of the distribution of resources and socio-economic growth. Many places in the world are extremely poor. These places lack adequate development in terms of health care, social empowerment, and economic stability. One of the areas that exhibit the characteristics above is the Wallo Rural area (WalloRA), which is located in Sub- Saharan Africa. This area has a population of about is 30,000 people. The high levels of poverty in this area make the Wallo Rural Area a closed society in terms of access to information and basic amenities. Due to this ...

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC.gov, 2017), malaria is contracted from the bite from a specific type of mosquito. A dangerous and sometimes fatal disease, symptoms of mild malaria include chills, high fever, and other signs similar to the flu; severe malaria results in organ failure and is a medical emergency. Even though malaria is a serious threat, it is treatable and preventable.
There are approximately 1500 cases of malaria diagnosed annually in the United States. Most of the cases originate in people traveling from countries where malaria is present, such as South Asia and ...

Introduction

Quinine is a basic organic amine which is found in the bark of cinchona tree. It has a long history of relationship with humanity. The extracts from the bark containing quinine were used to treat malaria from the 17th century but as a pure chemical substance, it was isolated from the bark only in 1820 (Achan et al. 144). Its chemical formula is C20H24N2O2, according to IUPAC its systematic name is (R)-(6-Methoxyquinolin-4-yl)((2S,4S,8R)-8-vinylquinuclidin-2-yl)methanol. Its structure is shown in Fig. 1.
Quinine is used for a variety of purposes. It is still used for ...

Introduction

In any blood bank laboratory, definite tests must be done on all donated blood. This incorporates typing to verify the donor's ABO blood grouping and Rhesus factors in addition to several screens to guarantee the safety of the blood. Screening is usually conducted for unanticipated red blood cell antibodies that could cause severe reactions in the recipient and bacterial contamination in components of platelets as well as present and precedent transmissible infections. Each unit of donated blood is usually tested for Hepatitis C, HIV, Human T-Lymph tropic Virus, Syphilis, West Nile Virus and Malaria. But before any test is ...

In general, Kenya is a dry country; about four-fifths of the land is considered arid or semi-arid. The land considered useful for agriculture only occupies about 17 percent of the nation’s area; throughout the country, average yearly rainfall ranges from 200 mm (in the north) to over 1,800 mm on the sides of Mt. Kenya (The Encyclopedia of Earth, 2008). Ironically, the economy of the country centers around the agricultural part of the country; agricultural products bring in about 30 percent of the nation’s income. When droughts come, they can send Kenya’s economy into severe ...

Abstract

The population of any species should be preserved using any means necessary. There are genetic preservation and natural preservation. The genetic preservation strategy takes a shorter time than the natural strategy. A hypothesis was developed to establish the possible breeding options that were available. Also, lab tests were conducted on the same breeding topic. The kind of breeding strategy that was used is crucial to the development and sustenance of the population. There exists planned breeding strategy and planned breeding strategy. However, the random breeding strategy is prone to inbreeding. This refers to the breeding of species that are ...

Risks to the Mine

The major hazards to the mines include the possibility of floods taking place in the sites, and they will lead to a stop of the mining process. Secondly, the mines are prone to gas explosions. The explosions will increase the hole, and might even lead to the prevention of further mining (Khan, et al. 2004). Thirdly, the mines might face chemical leakage, an act that may cause decomposition of rocks and depletion of the important resources in mines. Moreover, mines are prone to dust, that will lead to blocking of the extraction process, by occupying the region, or causing ...

Malaria is a tropical disease that has claimed many lives over the numerous centuries gone by (reference). It usually caused by the genus Plasmodium. The vector for this parasite is a female Anopheles mosquito which transmits the pathogen through bite (reference). One of the major challenges in disease vectors is insecticide resistance. Vector-borne diseases are usually a burden in developing countries because it is not easy to reduce/control disease. In many parts of Africa, Anopheles gambiae has developed resistance towards pyrethroid insecticides which is used to control the malaria vector (Kumar, Dudley, 2007). It is feared that there are high chances of ...
