A Preventable Disease in Indonesia Malaria By Andrew Fish
U.S. Comparison-Malaria
Completely Eradicated in the U.S. However, Of the 1,337 malaria cases reported for 2002 in the United States, all but five were imported, i.e., acquired in malaria-endemic countries. Between 1957 and 2003, in the United States, 63 outbreaks of locally transmitted mosquito-borne malaria have occurred; in such outbreaks, local mosquitoes become infected by biting persons carrying malaria parasites (acquired in endemic areas) and then transmit malaria to local residents.
Malaria Worldwide
Every 30 seconds someone dies of malaria. Forty-one percent of the world's population live in areas where malaria is transmitted Each year 350–500 million cases of malaria occur worldwide, and over one million people die, most of them young children in sub-Saharan Africa. In 2002, malaria was the fourth cause of death in children in developing countries, after perinatal conditions (conditions occurring around the time of birth), lower respiratory infections (pneumonias), and
Malaria-What is it?
Malaria is a mosquito-borne disease that causes over 2.7 million deaths per year according to estimates by the World Health Organization. Usually, symptoms appear within the first several weeks after the infected mosquito bites you
Malaria Life Cycle
Symptoms
Symptoms of malaria can begin as early as six to eight days after a bite by an infected mosquito. They include: High fever (up to 105 degrees Fahrenheit) with shaking chills Profuse sweating when the fever suddenly drops Fatigue Headache Muscle aches Abdominal discomfort Nausea, vomiting Feeling faint when you stand up or sit up quickly
Prevention
One way to prevent malaria is to avoid mosquito bites with the following strategies: As much as possible, stay indoors in well-screened areas, especially at night when mosquitoes are most active. Use mosquito nets and bed nets. It's best to treat the nets with the insect repellant permethrin. Wear clothing that covers most of your body. Use an insect repellent that contains DEET or picaridin. These repellants are applied directly to your skin, except around your mouth and eyes. If you choose a picaridinbased repellant, you will need to reapply it every several hours. Apply permethrin to clothing. It is strongly recommended that you take preventive medication when you travel to a region of the world that has malaria.
Protect Yourself
Here are some easy to follow tips: + Before heading off for a malarial region ask your doctor for medical guidance about what anti-malarial medication you should take during your visit and then make sure you take the full course. (You usually have to start the course around a week before you go and then continue for two to three weeks after you return.) + Keep skin covered between sunset and sunrise (i.e. longsleeved tops and trousers) and use mosquito repellents on exposed skin. + Sleep under repellent impregnated mosquito nets + Leave the air conditioning on all day (mosquitoes are cold blooded. They stay away if it’s too chilly for them and die if temperatures get too low.) + Keep windows shut at night + Be aware of the symptoms before you go and be aware they may become visible within hours or up to a year after your trip.
In Indonesia
Malaria is endemic to most areas of Indonesia, outside of the metropolitan areas. affecting almost three quarters of the country's territory The disease reemerged recently because of climatic changes which have widened mosquitoes' breeding areas Malaria had infected 15 million people in Indonesia as of 2001, killing approximately 38,000 people each year Some 45 percent of the Indonesian population of 230 million were at risk of infection The problems of controlling malaria in these
