The specialist spoke about the peculiarities of the biology of malaria pathogens, their life cycle, and modern methods of laboratory diagnostics.
According to an infectious disease specialist, malaria is a severe parasitic disease that manifests itself in fever attacks, anemia, enlarged liver and spleen.

The source of infection is a person: a sick person or a parasite carrier. The vectors of infection are mosquitoes of the genus Anopheles.
Infection occurs more often with bites of malaria mosquitoes, possibly with blood transfusions, through medical instruments infected with the blood of a patient or carrier, as well as from mother to fetus.
