Storyboard Text
- Hello everyone! I'm Qaisara and today we have a special topic to talk about. Are you excited? I do! Join me in this adventure of learning about Malaria.
- As you can see, I am now sitting on a bench near to a park. This specific scene that I choose is to illustrate that cases of Malaria can occur in many places. Malaria is a mosquito-borne parasitic disease that could cause high fever, sweating and severe chills. It transmitted through mosquito bite and could last several months. It requires a lab test and imaging to confirm this disease but is treatable by medical professional. However, urgent medical treatment are required as it may be dangerous and potential to cause fatal.
- Malaria parasite life cycle involves 2 hosts. A malaria-infected female Anopheles mosquito inoculates sporozoites into human host. The sporozoites then infect liver cells and mature into schizonts which will rupture and releasing daughter parasites merozoites that bring on the cycle by invading other red cells.
- When specific form of blood stages parasites are ingested during the blood feeding by the female Anopheles mosquito, they mate in the mosquito's gut and begin the cycle growth and multiplication in the mosquito. The infected mosquito carries the disease from 1 human to another while the infected human transmitted the parasites to the mosquito.
