    Malaria is a serious and persistent threat to public health in many parts of Asia, including Bangladesh. The disease is caused by a parasite that is transmitted to humans through the bites of infected mosquitoes. In Bangladesh, around 90% of malaria cases are due to Plasmodium falciparum, and around 85% of cases occur in the malaria-endemic Southeast.

    There are several factors that contribute to the high incidence of malaria in Bangladesh. One factor is the presence of Anopheles mosquitoes, which are the primary vectors for transmitting the malaria parasite. Bangladesh has 34 Anopheles mosquito species. Another factor is the climate, which provides favorable conditions for the breeding of mosquitoes. Additionally, socioeconomic factors such as poverty, poor housing conditions, and lack of access to healthcare can increase the risk of malaria transmission.

    Five species of Plasmodium (single-celled parasites) can infect humans and cause illness: 1. Plasmodium falciparum (or P. falciparum). 2. Plasmodium malariae (or P. malariae). 3. Plasmodium vivax (or P. vivax). 4. Plasmodium ovale (or P. ovale). 5. Plasmodium knowlesi (or P. knowlesi). Falciparum maRead more

    Five species of Plasmodium (single-celled parasites) can infect humans and cause illness:

    1. Plasmodium falciparum (or P. falciparum).
    2. Plasmodium malariae (or P. malariae).
    3. Plasmodium vivax (or P. vivax).
    4. Plasmodium ovale (or P. ovale).
    5. Plasmodium knowlesi (or P. knowlesi).
    Falciparum malaria is potentially life-threatening. Patients with severe falciparum malaria may develop liver and kidney failure, convulsions, and coma. Although occasionally severe, infections with P. vivax and P. ovale generally cause less serious illness, but the parasites can remain dormant in the liver for many months, causing a reappearance of symptoms months or even years later.

    Malaria parasites can be identified by examining under the microscope a drop of the patient’s blood, spread out as a “blood smear” on a microscope slide. Prior to the examination, the specimen is stained (most often with the Giemsa stain) to give the parasites a distinctive appearance. This technique remains the gold standard for laboratory confirmation of malaria. However, it depends on the quality of the reagents, of the microscope, and on the experience of the laboratorian
