MALARIA :

• Malaria is a infectious mosquito- borne(Anopheles)disease that affects all living organisms like humans and other animals.
• Malaria causes symptoms that typically include fever, tiredness, vomiting, and headaches.
• While in some severe cases, it can cause yellow skin, seizures, coma, or death.
• Symptoms usually begin ten to fifteen days after being bitten by an infected mosquito.
• The risk of disease can be reduced by preventing mosquito bites through the use of mosquito nets and insect repellents .
• The parasite is spread to humans through the bites of infected mosquitoes.
• Malaria is a life-threatening disease and it is typically transmitted through the bite of an infected Anopheles mosquito.
• Infected mosquitoes carry the Plasmodium parasite.

Filarial :

• Filariasis is a parasitic disease transmitted by blood-feeding arthropods, mainly black flies and mosquitoes .
• Filaria is caused by the bite of an infected mosquito belonging to the species called Culex.
• The adult worms live in the lymphatic vessels and the females produce microfilariae which at night circulate in the blood.
• The mosquitoes on biting the infected individuals carry the microfilariae which develop into adult worms.
• Other symptoms include fever, pain and swelling of lymph glands, headache, and inflammation of the lymph drainage areas, swelling of the scrotum, skin rashes and blindness.
• Progression of the disease often causes enlargement of the legs resulting in a condition called elephantiasis or lymphatic filariasis.
