Salivary secretions and starts a new infection

Reference no: EM13527917

When people become sick with malaria they develop severe fever that causes them to be bed bound, weak and sweaty for several days. Provide an evolutionary explanation for this phenomenon along with an experimental design that would test your idea. Do you think that mosquitoes should evolve immunity to being malaria vectors? Why. Why not?To help you answer this question, here are some details regarding malaria in humans: malaria is caused by a protozoan parasite, the parasite moves among people by way of a mosquito vector. When a mosquito blood feeds on a malaria-ridden person it picks up the protozoan in the blood meal. The protozoan develops in the mosquito for several days then leaves the body cavity for the mosquito’s salivary glands. The next time that infectious mosquito blood feeds the protozoan moves into the newhuman within the salivary secretions and starts a new infection.
