Q

Temperature and development of the parasites and the vector

A

The life cycle of plasmodium within mosquito vectors depends on temperature
Higher temperature means less time required for the parasite to complete the mosquito stage of the lifecycle (8-15 days)
-parasite needs at least 18C° max 40C°(tropical regions)
-Adult anopheles mosquito lifespan four weeks they survive better in humid environments

Q

Agricultural practices

A

-irrigation farming, land clearing for extensive farming, which causes a change in natural landscape and environment which causes increased risk of malaria
-Irrigation methods are used extensively flooding, which causes large stagnant
-Large water containers for farming, domestic animals
-cleared forest which causes all mosquito reading behavior and new territory for them

Q

Human movement

A

-population movement, either places people at risk of malaria infection, or results in them, passing a thread to other
-change of natural environment in increase the risk of human vector exposure, and risk for acquiring the disease
-spread of drug resistant parasite from one endemic region to another

Q

Activities that result in significant population movement

A

-rural to urban settlement Such as red distribution of population because they don’t have enough resources
-employment, agriculture, and mining
-natural disaster unbearable to live in the area
-conflict Ulting in environmental aggregation, and the displacement of large numbers of people
