How does the transmission of malaria and pneumonia take place? |
|
Answer» Transmission of Malaria:- Malaria is caused by the toxins produced in the human body by the malarial parasite (plasmodium). The infective stage of plasmodium is a minute organism called sporozoite. When the mosquito bites man, sporozoites present in the salivary gland of female Anopheles mosquito are injected into the blood of the man. Transmission of Pneumonia:- The disease spreads by sputum of the patient. Incubation period is just 1-3 days. |
