Sexual Cycle of the Malaria Parasite

The sexual cycle of the malaria parasite begins when the Anopheles mosquito vector sucks the blood of an infected human (a gametocyte carrier). The mosquito takes in all stages of the malaria parasite during this blood meal. However, except for the gametocytes, all the remaining stages, including the ring stage, trophozoites, and schizonts, are digested […]

Morphology of Plasmodium Malariae

Morphology of Plasmodium Malariae This parasite was discovered by Laveran in the year 1881. It produces quartan malaria in humans. Quartan malaria means the fever comes after every 72 hours. The following stages are found in P. malariae: 1) Ring (Young Trophozoite) 2) Trophozoites 3) Mature Schizont 4) Male Gametocyte 5) Female Gametocyte Infected RBC

Morphology of Plasmodium Falciparum

Morphology of Plasmodium Falciparum Plasmodium falciparum was discovered by Welch in 1897. It is found only in human beings. It is also called malignant tertian malaria or pernicious malaria. In P. falciparum infection, the commonest asexual forms of the parasite detectable in peripheral circulation are rings, gametocytes, and sometimes early trophozoites. Multiple infections may occur, […]

Morphology of Plasmodium Vivax

Morphology of Plasmodium Vivax This parasite was discovered by Grassi and Feletti in 1890. The name “vivax” was given to the species because of its amoeboid nature. P. vivax causes a disease in humans called benign tertian malaria. This parasite shows a greater tendency to invade younger red blood cells (RBCs). There are mainly four […]

Recognition and Features of Malaria Parasites

Recognition and Features of Malaria Parasites Malaria parasites take up JSB stain in a special way in both thick and thin blood films. You must be able to distinguish the various parts of the malaria parasites, or general features of Plasmodium, as shown in the diagram that follows. Malaria parasites pass through a number of […]

Guidelines in Management of Severe (Complicated) Malaria

Clinical Characteristics and Complications Severe malaria is clinically characterized by confusion or drowsiness with extreme weakness (prostration). Complications that may develop due to P. falciparum infection include In children, febrile convulsions, repeated vomiting, and dehydration are common if the temperature is high, regardless of the cause. Therefore, these specific symptoms are not necessarily indicative of […]
