Introduction to National Malaria Day
Malaria is one of the important public health problems concerned by the world, and it is widely prevalent all over the world. According to the statistics of the World Health Organization, there are still 92 countries and regions with high and moderate epidemics, with an annual incidence of 654.38+0.5 billion, and more than 2 million people have died of malaria. Before the liberation of China, malaria was prevalent year after year, especially in the south, which caused a large number of labor losses due to the rampant epidemic; Because there was no effective drug treatment at that time, the mortality rate of malaria was also high. After liberation, malaria prevention and control institutions have been established all over the country, and malaria prevention and control and scientific research have been carried out extensively, and the incidence of malaria has dropped significantly. In recent years, affected by natural and human factors, the incidence of malaria in some areas is especially on the rise. It is of great significance to strengthen malaria prevention and control and prevent its resurgence. In May 2007, the 60th World Health Assembly passed a resolution, deciding that from 2008, April 25th every year or one or several days decided by individual member countries will be World Malaria Day. According to the actual situation, China decided to designate April 26th as National Malaria Day.

Third, malaria prevention and control knowledge
Malaria, commonly known as "shaking", "miasma" and "cold and heat", is the most common parasitic disease that harms human health in summer and autumn. The pathogen that causes malaria is plasmodium, a small parasite spread by mosquitoes. When mosquitoes bite and suck blood, they bring plasmodium into human blood, causing the spread of the epidemic. There are four kinds of parasites in human body, namely Plasmodium vivax, Plasmodium vivax, Plasmodium falciparum and Plasmodium ovale. Plasmodium vivax is very common in China.
(A), the source of infection of malaria
Symptomatic patients or asymptomatic carriers are contagious only when there are gametophytes in their peripheral blood.
(2) How is malaria spread?
Malaria. The vector is Anopheles. When an Anopheles bites and sucks the blood of a patient or an infected person, and then bites and sucks the blood of a normal person, it transmits plasmodium to the latter.
The prevalence of malaria is closely related to whether the local temperature and rainfall are suitable for the development and reproduction of mosquitoes and plasmodium. Malaria epidemic season is often warm and rainy, and mosquitoes can multiply in large numbers.
People in non-endemic areas have weak resistance to malaria, and it is easy to get malaria when they enter endemic areas. Patients or carriers in epidemic areas enter non-epidemic areas, which is easy to spread malaria. Therefore, population movement is easy to cause the spread of malaria.
In addition, congenital malaria can also be caused by placenta damage or blood pollution of mothers suffering from malaria or plasmodium during childbirth, which can be passed from mother to fetus or transmitted through blood transfusion.
(3) Clinical manifestations of malaria
According to the attack cycle, malaria can be divided into three types: diurnal disease, malignant disease and three-day malaria. After getting malaria, the main symptom is "chills" and shivering badly. This is called "chill" in medicine. For a few minutes or so, you start to have a high fever. Fever can be as high as 40℃ After about 3 to 4 hours, you will sweat and your body temperature will gradually drop to normal. In addition to chills and fever, patients often feel weak, tired, do not want to eat, dizziness and drowsiness in the back and limbs. If you are a child, you may sometimes have convulsions. Severe malaria patients can be seen in coma, delirium and stiff neck, which is life-threatening.
