the civilization disappeared. The thought that the Indus civilization disappearance was caused by flooding is a fascinating mystery that can be supported by the fact that something catastrophic must have happened and that mosquitoes were carrying malaria which was a deadly disease; even the counter argument can be challenged. First, there is evidence that something catastrophic must have happened. A website article states, “would have had catastrophic effects on agricultural activity/ making…

Plasmodium is a parasite with over 100 species, but only four directly affect humans(“Malaria Parasites”). This parasite affects the circulatory system, or cardiovascular system(Coolidge-Stolz 78). Even though it’s microscoping in size, it can cause a lot of damage. It has many things that structure it, and some are even in common with animals (“Structure of Plasmodium Merozoite”). The parasite gets into the body from mosquitoes and infects the bloodstream(“Plasmodium”). The plasmodium parasite…

Malaria is a vector-borne infectious disease carried by Plasmodium parasites that can be deadly (Lee, 2018). Sickle cell anemia is a form of anemia where an abnormal hemoglobin changes the shape of the red blood cells. Whether or not you have sickle-cell depends on your genotype. Individuals who have the genotype AA (HbA) have "normal" blood and no mutations which can lead them to contracting malaria more easily because they don't have protection. People with the AS genotype, (HbA & HbS) have…

Have you ever wondered why you are more susceptible to a cold than a classmate who may be of a different race? It may be a result of natural selection as it impacts people living in certain countries, making them able to withstand weather or deadly diseases in their environment. However, all good things come at a cost. In Survival of the Sickest, Dr. Sharon Moalem explains that certain diseases that might affect people later in life have actually guided human evolution, enabling the species to…

I will be writing an informative paper about parasitic flatworms.

In those who have been infected for a good amount of time liver damage, kidney failure and infertility may occur. The disease is usually spread by contact, water…

ended up in refugee camps in which the hygiene was very poor and as a result, many diseases spread. Over a thousand wild animals relocated after the water rose in the dams. Because of the droughts in Africa, the supply of electricity had decreased. Malaria is a disease transmitted to humans by mosquitos, causes fever, anemia, and often-fatal complications. This disease affected 174 million people in sub-Saharan Africa in 2010. There has been a new study case that was conducted in sub-Saharan…

The human body is protected against infections by the immune system. The disease occurs when the normal function of tissue is impaired. Health organizations have for a long time tried to understand all causal agents of diseases as fight strategies against these agents including understanding surviving strategies, their cycle, and multiplicity once they infect a human being. This has facilitated discovery of therapeutic drugs for various diseases (Klepac et al., 2013). Vaccination against…
