Malaria: The mosquito bourn killer disease that can be fought with pyrethrum
Malaria
Amid the uncertainty and turmoil caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, it is important not to forget about the other battles that Kenyans have to face on a day-to-day basis. Mosquitoes are classified as the world’s most dangerous animal, judged by the number of people they kill each year. The most wide-spread disease carried by mosquitoes is Malaria and that accounts for 10,700 deaths in Kenya each year. That’s almost 10x the amount of people that have been killed by COVID-19 inside our borders to date (Jan 2021) and that happens every year, and unfortunately many malarial deaths are young children.
Facts about Malaria
- Malarial mosquitos are often completely silent, meaning that annoying whine at night may be nothing more serious than a sleepless night.
- There are four different types of malarial parasite, all with varying degrees of potency.
- Malaria is only transmitted by female mosquitoes – it is the female that bites humans
- Symptoms of malaria only develop after 10 days from the time of the bite.
Mosquitoes also carry other diseases including dengue fever, chikungunya and yellow fever
