Blackberry Leaf Tea To Fight Malaria
Malaria Transmission: Transmission occurs after the bite of the female Anopheles mosquito, infected by protozoa of the genus Plasmodium. In Brazil, three species are associated with malaria in humans: P. vivax, P. falciparum and P. malariae.
The protozoan is transmitted to humans by blood, usually through the bite of the female Anopheles mosquito, infected by Plasmodium or, more rarely, by another type of means that brings the blood of an infected person into contact with that of another healthy person, such as the sharing syringes (drug users), blood transfusions or even mother-to-fetus, in pregnancy.
Symptoms of Malaria: The most common symptoms are: chills, high fever (at first continuous and then often every three days), headache and muscle pain, tachycardia, enlarged spleen and sometimes delirium.
