A. True
B. False
C. Ambiguous
D. Data insufficient

Answer 1

Malaria is a disease that affects life. The parasite will be released into your bloodstream when this mosquito bites you. They migrate to the liver once the parasites are within your body, where they mature. The mature parasites enter the bloodstream after several days and begin infecting red blood cells.

Complete answer:
Usually, it is spread by the bite of an infected mosquito called Anopheles. The Plasmodium parasite is carried by infected mosquitoes. The parasites spread within the red blood cells, causing the cells infected to burst open. Red blood cells continue to be infected by the parasites, resulting in symptoms occurring in cycles that last two to three days at a time. Plasmodium vivax, P. ovale, P. malariae, and P. falciparum are four kinds of malaria parasites that can infect humans.
A more serious form of the disease is caused by P. falciparum and those who develop this form of malaria have a higher risk of death. The disease may also be transmitted from an infected mother to her baby at birth. This is thought to be congenital malaria. Malaria is transmitted through the skin, which means that it can also be transmitted through:

Transplanting an organ
A transfusion
Application of mutual needles or syringes
Any malarial parasites will invade the body, but for long periods of time, they will be dormant.

Hence, the correct answer is (A) True.

Note:
Malaria can be a life-threatening disease, especially if you are infected with the P. falciparum parasite. In a hospital, care for the disease is normally given. In addition, certain forms of malaria parasites, such as P. vivax and P. ovale, have liver stages where the parasite can live for a long period of time in the body and reactivate at a later date, allowing the infection to recur.
