Malaria belongs to what-zoology or physiology?

Answer 1

The study of Malaria as an organism (in and of itself) is zoology. The study of Malaria as a disease and the way it impacts the human body falls under physiology.

Answer 2

Malaria maybe related to physiology in the sense that it influences bodily functions, But the real field to which malaria belongs is Clinical Parasitology. Clinical Parasitology discusses the transmission and prevention of the disease, the symptoms and clinical laboratory findings, the life cycle of the vector (mosquito specie) , and it also differentiates the 4 malarial species from each other. In short it discusses anything that is related to the disease, be it inside the vector or the human host.

Answer 3

Four species of malaria parasites can infect humans under natural conditions: Plasmodium falciparum, P. vivax, P. ovale and P. malariae. The first two species cause the most infections worldwide. Plasmodium falciparum is the agent of severe, potentially fatal malaria, causing an estimated 700,000 - 2.7 million deaths annually, most of them in young children in Africa. Plasmodium vivax and P. ovale have dormant liver stage parasites ("hypnozoites") which can reactivate ("relapse") and cause malaria several months or years after the infecting mosquito bite. Plasmodium malariae produces long-lasting infections and if left untreated can persist asymptomatically in the human host for years, even a lifetime.

sorry i just reread your question, i dont think i answered what you were asking...but maybe i did?

Answer 4

As long as you are studying the life of history of Plasmodium vivax, ovale, falciparum, malarie,( a Protozoan, sporozoan) you are in the realm of zoology. This is taught at class 10 in the broad subject Biology. When you fall sick, you go the doctor.He notices the symptoms and signs and examines blood to see whether merozoites are proliferating.He then prescribes medicine.This parasite affects body physiology.Malaria, a disease caused by a protozoan is rooted in zoology. Its effects are ramifying and touch upon branches of physiology, medicine, pharmacology, etc.

Answer 5

Malaria is a disease caused by a parasite of the genus Plasmodium, which is transferred to humans through Anopheles mosquitos.

The study of malaria may be found under "parasitology", or in human medicine in the discipline of "infectious diseases" or "infectious tropical diseases".

Answer 6

the best bet is b...logy it's not a epedemioc,which comes from a
mosquter ,you get high fewer you have to put on with malaria tablets every 4 0r 6 hourly in ordwer to bring down the fewer
and the jerms,nothing to worry for that we have medication for that

Answer 7

Malaria can be considered as an Insect borne disease (Parasitic disease). Please see the webpages for more details on Malaria.

Answer 8

i'm not sure what you are asking, but i think malaria comes from mosquitos and it has to do with the digestive tract i think.

Answer 9

it belongs to entomology..but not to zoology or physiology.

Answer 10

it belongs parasitology. as such it is a desease , so it doesnt come under those categories.the study of its causative organism is parasitology.
