How long does malaria take to go?

Answer 1

My father had malaria when he was living in Africa. And as far as I know he has malaria once in a while, even though it is 30 years later.
This disease is transmitted to humans by a mosquito bite. He has bronchitis once in a while, and it is in these periods that the malaria manifests, because body defences are low and susceptible to diseases. Now he knows how to treat it, but sometimes it is quite severe: headaches, severe temperature, chills, vomiting, etc.
You can prevent malaria by taking for example quinine doses everyday, but it cannot guarantee that you won't catch it, another way to avoid it, is to use insect nets, and stay away from mosquito areas at dusk and night. Because that's the time of the day, that mosquitoes look for human blood as it has proteins essential for their reproduction system (most people think they feed on our blood, but that is not true. Only female mosquitoes bite and it is a reproduction thing. If they fed on our blood male mosquitoes would bite as well)
This disease will never go away. When the mosquito bites, its saliva goes straight to the liver. Time from time parasites will be release in the blood stream and infect the body with malaria.

I hope I helped. At least I wrote almost everything I know about malaria and mosquitoes.

.~~.Electric~Mistress.~~., The answer is indeterminate. This is because it may take longer in some than in others, for the disease to eliminate life. I shall briefly outline the details - Malaria is spread through the bite of an infected female anopheles mosquito. There are four different types of malaria parasite: Plasmodium falciparum is the cause of malignant malaria, while Plasmodium vivax, Plasmodium ovale and Plasmodium malariae cause more benign types of malaria. Malignant malaria can kill, but the other forms are much less likely to prove fatal. The most malignant (P. falciparum) cases develop within three months of leaving the malaria region, while the forms transmitted by P. vivax and P. ovale may not appear until three years later. The actual attacks of malaria develop when the red blood corpuscles burst, releasing a mass of parasites into the blood. The attacks do not begin until a sufficient number of blood corpuscles have been infected with parasites. In malignant malaria the illness may evolve with a number of complications - low blood pressure (hypotension), kidney failure, possible haemorrhage (bleeding), effects on the liver (eg infectious jaundice), shock and coma may also develop, the condition may prove fatal. Malignant malaria can affect the brain and the rest of the central nervous system causing cerebral malaria. It is characterised by changes in the level of consciousness, convulsions and paralysis. Also, in malignant malaria, a large number of the red blood corpuscles are destroyed. Haemoglobin (the red pigment) from the blood corpuscles is excreted in the urine, which therefore is dark and almost the colour of cola. This is known as Blackwater-fever. Hope this helps matador 89
