Malaria疟疾

Malaria is a tropical disease passed on to humans by mosquitoes and is present in over 100 countries.  Occasional isolated outbreaks have been reported in England, particularly by airport workers and those who have contact with items imported from other countries.疟疾是热带疾病转嫁到人类由蚊虫传播,是目前在100多个国家。偶然孤立的疫情报告,在英格兰,尤其是机场工人和谁接触的物品从其他国家进口。 Altogether around 2000 cases of malaria are brought into the UK each year.共有2000年左右,疟疾病例被带入英国每年。

The disease is particularly widespread in sub-Saharan Africa, where over 90% of malaria-related deaths occur.  There are a number of reasons for the geographic spread of malaria including:这种疾病是特别普遍在撒哈拉以南非洲,那里的90 %以上的疟疾有关的死亡发生在这里。有很多原因的地理传播疟疾,其中包括:

  • Climate: the Anopheles mosquito species that carries the malaria disease lives in hot humid climates.  Areas with significant seasonal changes are less prone to malaria as these mosquitoes cannot survive cold winters.  Malaria-carrying mosquitoes are less likely to transmit the disease in temperatures under 16°c.气候:按蚊种蚊子携带疟疾病的生活在炎热潮湿的气候。领域有显着的季节性变化而较少受疟疾的蚊子,因为这些无法生存寒冷的冬天。携带疟疾的蚊虫都不太可能传播这种疾病的温度下, 16â ° C时
  • Prevention and treatment: those living in developing countries may have poor access to preventative measures, treatments and medical supplies.预防和治疗:那些生活在发展中国家,可能有穷人获得的预防措施,治疗和医疗用品。
  • Rural areas: people in urban areas fend off malaria more successfully by limiting contact with mosquitoes.农村地区:人在城市地区击退疟疾更成功地通过限制接触的蚊子。
  • Drainage: poorer drainage in rural areas also increases the risk of malaria as mosquitoes breed in stagnant water.排水:排水较差的农村地区的同时也增加了患疟疾的危险,因为蚊子滋生在积水。

Almost two thirds of all cases of malaria-related deaths occur among the poorest 20% of the world’s population.几乎三分之二的所有案件疟疾有关的死亡发生在中最穷的20 %的worldâ € ™人口。

In 1998, the World Health Organisation (WHO), UNICEF, World Bank and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) joined forces to fund the Roll Back Malaria programme.  Roll Back Malaria aims to halve malaria-related deaths by 2010.在1998年,世界卫生组织(谁) ,儿童基金会,世界银行和联合国开发计划署(开发计划署)加入势力基金击退疟疾计划。击退疟疾的目的是减半,与疟疾有关的死亡人数到2010年。

There are two general types of malaria: benign and malignant.  Benign malaria is milder and more easily treatable.  Malignant malaria can be very severe, even fatal, and if suspected requires immediate medical attention.有两个一般类型的疟疾:良性和恶性。良性疟疾是温和的和更容易医治。恶性疟疾可非常严重,甚至致命,如果怀疑,需要立即的医疗照顾。
