Comprehensive Analysis of Malaria: Causes, Incubation Period, Transmission Methods, Prevention, Control, and Treatment

Abstract

Malaria is causing a significant burden of diseases and deaths worldwide. It has become a global issue, and its long history can be traced back to the most ancient writings. Malaria is historically known as an infectious disease. Malaria cases are classified by several causes, and the pathogen of malaria can be found in various species of the mosquito vector and four different types of the parasite in the blood. The onset of the disease occurs just 48 hours after the bite of the female Anopheles mosquito, which is very characteristic and called cold in agues. This is also a typical symptom of a fever and one of the earliest biomolecular disease philosophies based on the life cycle model. Moreover, it is also a recurrent infection that is more severe than the previous infection and is not transmitted directly between humans. It is important to detect the pathogen immediately for the pre- and post-infection processing of infection and onset, as there is only a short time to perform medical treatment. However, the microscopic identification of the pathogen in the blood is very difficult, especially when the concentration of the pathogen in the blood is low. Most studies have developed diagnostic devices to detect the concentration of the pathogen.
