Malaria
• a vector-borne disease caused by single
celled parasites, the Plasmodium
protozoa, and transmitted by female
Anopheles mosquitoes.
• Characterized by malarial paroxysm of
chills, fever and sweats.
Still an enormous pubic
health problem and one
of the most common
infectious diseases.
History of malaria
• Malaria has infected humans for over
50,000 years.
• first recorded in 2700 BC in China.
• originates from Medieval Italian:
•
mala aria — "bad air";
• was formerly called ague or marsh fever
due to its association with swamps and
marshland
History of malaria
• 1880, a French army doctor
first observed parasites in
patient’s RBC. the 1907 Nobel
Prize for Physiology or
Medicine.
• 1898, Britain's Sir Ronald
Ross finally proved that
malaria is transmitted by
mosquito.(received the 1902
Nobel Prize)

Etiology
• Plasmodium protozoa
–
–
–
–
P. falciparum (the deadliest);
P. malariae ;
P. ovale ;
P. vivax (the most common);
• Within each species there are variant
strains.
Life cycle
• Sexual cycle in mosquito
– Gametocyte, gamete, zygote,
ookinete, oocyst, sporoblast,
sporozoite
• Asexual cycle in Human
– Exoerythrocytic stage:
sporozoite, tachysporozoite
(12-20d), bradysporozoite
(hypnozoite) (6-11m),
merozoite, schizont,
– Erythrocytic stage:
ring form, trophozoite, schizont,

– Asymptomatic carriers
Epidemiology
• Route of transmission
– Bite by female anopheles mosquitoes.
– Vertical transmission (placenta)
– Blood transfusion
Epidemiology
• Susceptibility
– All susceptible
– Travelers and foreigner
– Children, pregnant women
– Short immunity, without cross immunity.
Epidemiology
• Epidemiological feature
– Seasons: Summer and Autumn (temperature)
– In china, P. vivax is predominant, P. falciparum
second, P. malariae and P. ovale seldem.
– Endemic areas: tropic or sub-tropic area.

– Obstruction of vessels and hypoglycemia.
– Severe headache, high fever.
– Impairment of consciousness: confusion,
obtundation, seizures and coma.

Babinski’s sign. Focal neurologic finding
occurs rarely.
Recrudescence and Relapse
• Recrudescence:
– residual plasmodium in the bloodstream.
– could be found in all the four species
infection.
– 1~4wk after relieved, or repeatedly.
• Relapse:
– hypnozoites in the hepatocytes.
– only found in P. vivax and P. ovale.
– usually 3~6mon after “cured”.
Clinical manifestation
special type
• malaria in pregnancy:
– main adult risk group.
– 80% death of malaria in Africa.
– more aggravated: anemia, fever,
hypoglycemia, cerebral malaria,
pulmonary edema, puerperal(afte labor)
sepsis.
– Low birth weight, prematurity.
– Vertical transmission.
Clinical manifestation

function and renal function.
Diagnosis
Microscopic diagnosis
• Blood smear (Gold standard)
– The most preferred, economic, and reliable
– Thick film: sensitive, diagnosis of infection
– Thin film: identification of species
– Giemsa's staining positive
Ring form and Gametocyte of P. falciparum

(black water fever)
• Routine G6PD test!!
Cerebral malaria
• Artesunate
– 60mg iv. drip, at 0, 4, 24, 48hr
– 50mg bid ×2~3d
• Chloroquine
– 16mg/kg→8mg/kg → conscious →po.

Caution
• Repeat the thick and thin blood smear
• Do not use Doxycycline, Primaquine,
Mefloquine, Atovaquone-proguanil in
Pregnant women.
• Routine G6PD test?
Prevention
• Control the source of transmission
• Cut off the route of transmission
• Protection of susceptible population
Prevention
Source of transmission
• Cases management
– Cure the patients and carriers
– use gametocides and blood schizonticides simultaneously.
– Chloroquine / artemisinine / artesunate
and primaquine / tafenoquine
Prevention
Route of transmission
• Vector control
– Kill anopheles mosquitoes: insecticide spraying
– Avoid multiply of mosquitoes:
• Personal protection
– Mosquito nets
– Repellents
– Long clothes
Prevention
Protection of susceptible population
• Active prophylaxis
– Vaccine
• Under development
• Passive prophylaxis
– Chemoprophylxis
• Chloroquine (sensitive, pregnant women or children)
• Mefloquine, Doxycycline, Pyrimethamine.
summary
• Malaria is a vector-borne parasitic disease caused by
plasmodium protozoa
• All the four species plasmodium need anopheles
mosquitoes and human to complete it’s life cycle.
• Transmitted by a bite of anopheles mosquito.
• Characterized by the malaria paroxysm (chill, high
fever,and sweats)
• The thick film and thin film can diagnose a malaria.
• Use the blood schizonticides and gametocides
simultaneously to kill the parasite.
• Prevention refers to the cases management, vector control,
personal protection, vaccine and chemoprophylaxis.
• Malaria is still a enomous public health problem world wide.
