Is malaria a blood borne disease

summary

What is malaria? I don't think many people know it. It's a professional name. We call it in a popular way. I think we all know that its popular name is cold and hot disease. It's just like its popular name. Let's talk about malaria as a blood infectious disease.

Is malaria a blood borne disease

First, malaria is transmitted by female Anopheles sinensis through skin biting, not through the needle of infusion set; similarly, it is transmitted by mosquito biting through punctured skin, but not by scalp needle because the mosquito contains Plasmodium, which is the intermediate host of Plasmodium, while the scalp needle of infusion set is not the host of Plasmodium, so it is not transmitted by scalp needle.

Second: malaria transmission route: Anopheles is the natural transmission vector of malaria. People can be infected after being bitten by an infectious female Anopheles. Malaria can also be transmitted by occasionally inputting blood with Plasmodium or using syringes contaminated with blood containing Plasmodium. It is rare to infect fetus through placenta. It is not likely to be infected by skin pricked by an infusion needle just pulled out by a patient with gastric bleeding.

Third, malaria is an ancient disease, commonly known as "cold and heat disease" and "dabaozi", which also gets its name because of its symptom characteristics. Main route of transmission: human malaria is mainly bitten by Anopheles. After the female Anopheles bites the patient's blood containing the gametophyte of Plasmodium, under suitable conditions, after a period of time, the gametophyte develops into sporozoite. At this time, the mosquito stabs the susceptible again, The sporozoites enter the human blood with mosquito saliva to spread malaria.

matters needing attention

I think through the answers of the above professional knowledge, you know something about malaria and whether it will be infectious. In fact, no matter what disease, as long as we have good conditions, strong resistance and early prevention, we can effectively avoid the onset of some diseases. We should develop good living habits.
