Common Human Diseases Caused By Protozoa - Biology Notes for Class 12


Common Human Diseases Caused By Protozoa - Biology Notes for Class 12

The disease (malaria) is most commonly transmitted by an infected female Anopheles mosquito. The mosquito bite introduces the parasites from the mosquito’s saliva into a person’s blood. The parasites travel to the liver where they mature and reproduce. The parasites initially multiply in liver but later they enter Red Blood Celle (RBC) causing the rupture of cells. Ruptured RBC releases a toxic substance called hemozoin, which causes chill and fever after every 3-4 days. When the female Anopheles mosquito bites the infected person, these parasites enter the body of the mosquito and undergo further development. They multiply to form sporozoites which are stored in the mosquito’s salivary glands. When this mosquito bites another healthy person, the sporozoites are released into his or her body and again the life cycle begins causing the disease. Most deaths are caused by P. falciparum. P. vivax, P. ovale, and P. malariae generally cause a milder form of malaria. The species P. knowlesi rarely causes disease in humans.
Malaria is typically diagnosed by the microscopic examination of blood using blood films, or with antigen-based rapid diagnostic tests.
The risk of disease can be reduced by preventing mosquito bites through the use of mosquito nets and insect repellents or with mosquito control measures such as spraying insecticides and draining standing water. Antimalarial drugs like, quinine and chloroquine are used to treat malaria.

Magnetic and non-magnetic material Class 6 Science

Magnetic and non-magnetic material  Class 6 Science A magnet is a substance that is drawn to certain magnetic materials like iron, cobalt, and nickel. Magnets have the ability to draw iron to them. Natural magnets are rocks that naturally draw iron. Non-magnetic materials include things like wood, rubber, coins, feathers, leather, etc. that are not drawn to iron. Magnet characteristics It pulls magnetic materials, such as iron. The magnet's two ends are referred to as its poles. The magnet's diametrically opposed poles are drawn together. Heating, hammering, or dropping causes it to lose its characteristics. On the basis of properties types of Magnets Temporary magnets are those magnets that are magnetic for only a little duration. Typically, iron, cobalt, or nickel are used to make them. When they are close to the powerful magnet, they act like a magnet. When they are yanked away from the powerful magnet, they stop being magnetic. Permanent magnets are magnets that have magne...
