Contest: Leaving no room for Malaria.
Introduction
Hello dear steemians, greetings to you all, I hope you all are doing good, it's my pleasure to be here on steem health I want to participate on a wonderful contest titled "Leaving No Room For Malaria" it's such a beautiful contest and you all will be reading my blog soon. All thanks to @sahmie for bringing up this beautiful topic. I will start from here without wasting time.
How do people get Malaria, mention 5 things we can do to stop it?
I have some common ways to share with you all in which people can get malaria they are as follows....
•Blood Transfusion: In this cases, malaria can can simply be transferred through blood transfusion from an infected person.
•Contaminated Needles: Sharing of contaminated needles can also makes people to get malaria.
•Mother To Child: A woman who is actually pregnant can easily passes parasites to her unborn baby.
Traveling To Endemic Area's: Visiting places where malaria is common, most expecially in tropical regions this also increases the risk of getting malaria.
The five thing's in which people can do to prevent malaria are as follows.
Eliminate standing water: always endeavour to remove stagnant water around public places and homes so as to prevent mosquito from breeding inside the water.
Take Antimalaria Drug's: Also endeavour to be taking malaria drugs regularly before traveling or going to any far distance so as to help prevent infection.
Appy Mosquito Net: Making use of mosquito nets can also prevent mosquito from giving us malaria.
Wear Protective Clothing: Making use of clothing like night gowns and pajamas can also prevent mosquito from giving us infection.
Use Insecticide: Making use of insecticides like nicotine or allethrin can also helps to kill mosquito so as to prevent them from giving us malaria.
Give some signs of Malaria, and why is it important to find it early.
Here are the symptoms that a person will feel when he or she is been infected with malaria such as...
• Chills
• High Fever
• Vomiting
• Headache
• Diarrhea
• Muscle Pain
Why is it important to find it early
Finding malaria early is very crucial because it actually helps to reduce the risk of death from malaria. It also helps in reducing the chance's of transmitting the diseases to others.
Early treatments also helps in improving the quality of life, it also prevents long-term damage to organs like the kidneys and the brain.
Why are mosquitoes linked to Malaria, and how can we control them to stop the disease?
Mosquitoes are link to malaria due to the dirt and diseases that they actually carry from one place to another this unclean place's can either be latrine toilet, gutter, stagnant water. Expecially when an environment is not kept clean, they can also get access to us by also feeding from unclean place's then inject that parasites into a person's blood stream and that will actually leads to infection.
They only way we can control mosquitoes to stop the disease are as follows...
Use insecticides treated bed nets regular.
Also make sure that you remove all the stagnant water around homes and public places.
Also enable to work with health care professionals and communities to develop effective control of malaria parasites.
Also endeavour to use the right track that can kill mosquitoes regularly.
Also endeavour to asked all the communities to maintain cleanliness and also engaging in sanitation regularly.
How has treating and preventing Malaria changed, and what problems are we still facing in getting rid of it?
The treating and preventing of malarial has really changed in many ways, this includes.
• Diagnosis: New diagnosis tools have been developed this include rapid diagnosis test, it is very easy to use and give fast result.
• Improved Access: There's a very big increase in access to a proper anti-malaria drug's expecially in Nigeria.
• Drug Development: Some drugs has been newly developed to fight malaria, including chloroquine combination, it has also made a contribution to malarial control.
• Vaccine Development: Researches is still ongoing to develop an effective vaccine against malaria.
The problem that we are facing in getting rid of it are as follows...
• Funding: Eliminate efforts require significant funding which can be a challenge for us to secure.
• Lack Of Access: Many at risk population still lacks access to effective health treatment.
• Vector Resistance: Mosquitoes are really developing resistance to insecticides, which helps to reduce their effectiveness.
• Drug Resistance: Anti malarials also remains a major problem to almost all the commonly used drugs.
Conclusion
I think by working together, we can also overcome the remaining obstacles and create a malaria free world for future generations.

I enjoy reading your in-depth knowledge and writing about this topic. Kudos!
Esto si que es bastante particular, no había leído nunca que la malaria se transmitía por transfusión de sangre, aunque lógicamente que es posible.
El detalles es que antes de hacer una transfusión, la sangre es evaluado para verificar que no tenga ningún tipo de infección, virus, entre las pruebas, se descarta esto, la malaria. Pero debo asumir que en sitios donde hay una alta prevalencia de Malaria, los estudios de rutina no se hacen de manera adecuada y estas situaciones de contagio de malaria por transfución sanguínea pueden ocurrir con más frecuencia.
Interesante. Suerte en el concurso.
