Survival of malaria parasites in human carriers

Vedclass · Answer

(A) Malaria is caused by the protozoan parasite $Plasmodium$. During unfavorable conditions like extreme heat or cold,the adult mosquitoes may die or become inactive. However,the $Plasmodium$ parasite survives within the human host (the reservoir) during these periods. When hot-humid conditions return,the mosquito population increases,and they pick up the parasite from infected humans,leading to a resurgence of malaria cases. Thus,the survival of the parasite in human carriers is the primary reason for the reappearance of the disease.
