1 Summary Mosquito-borne Diseases Dr Bernie Hudson Microbiology & Infectious Diseases, Royal North Shore Hospital, Sydney A/Professor, James Cook University, Townsville Malaria Flaviviruses Dengue Japanese Encephalitis Yellow Fever Zika Alphaviruses Chikungunya Malaria The Disease 1 Protozoan genus Plasmodium: 5 species infect humans: Life cycle Malaria The Disease Species Predominance Disease Prevalence globally Characteristics P. falciparum Africa Most severe Highest Highest mortality P. vivax Asia Severe High (esp. in Australian cases) Relapse cycles P. ovale Africa Severe Low Relapse cycles P. malariae Global Mild Low Long dormant periods P. knowlesi South-East Asia Severe Normally found in macaques Can infect humans Transmitted by bite of infected female Anopheles mosquitoes Adapted from: Centers for Disease Control (CDC): Malaria Biology. (accessed April 2014) 1. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Malaria Malaria The Disease 1 Types of disease Malaria The Disease Acute febrile illness UNCOMPLICATED SEVERE All symptoms are triggered by Plasmodium s asexual development stage in erythrocytes Plasmodium species dependent characteristics: Attack cycles (2 or 3 days) Incubation period from 7 days (P. falciparum) to 30+ days (P. malariae may be years) Relapses caused by dormant liver stages of P. vivax and P. ovale (after months or years) Attacks consisting of cold, hot and sweating stage Frequency of attacks depends on the parasite species General symptoms: Fever Chills Sweats Headaches Nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea Body aches General malaise Additional symptoms: Splenomegaly Mild jaundice Enlargement of the liver Increased respiratory rate Infections complicated by serious organ failures or abnormalities Severe disease symptoms often are medical emergencies Manifestations include: Cerebral malaria Hemoglobinuria Abnormal behaviour Acute respiratory distress syndrome Seizures Low blood pressure due to Coma cardiovascular collapse Severe anemia Acute kidney failure High risk groups to develop severe disease when infected: Children Pregnant women Elderly Travellers Late onset (especially in non-endemic countries) can lead to misdiagnosis 1.

2 Epidemiology in Australia Malaria in Travellers >600,000 Australians travel to malaria endemic countries each year Australian cases of imported malaria are reported annually (414 cases in 2013) 2 Estimated 1.5/1000 Australian travellers develop malaria 1 (endemic country travel) Non-immune travellers from malaria-free areas are very vulnerable to the disease 1 1. Yung et al, Manual of Travel Medicine 3rd ed 2011 IP Communications 2. National Notifiable Disease Surveillance System, accessed 25/3/ WHO The ABCD of malaria prevention 1 A: Be Aware of the risk, incubation period, possibility of delayed onset, and the main symptoms B: Avoid being Bitten by mosquitoes especially between dusk and dawn C: Take anti-malarial drugs (Chemoprophylaxis) when appropriate, to prevent infection from developing into clinical disease D: Immediately seek Diagnosis & treatment if a fever develops 1 week or more after entering an area where there is a malaria risk and up to 3 months (or, rarely, later) after departure from a risk area Personal Protective Measures (PPM) 1,2 Protection against vectors Avoidance of outside activities between dusk and dawn Insect repellent Mosquito nets - Permethrin impregnated Protective clothing - Long and light-coloured - Permethrin impregnated Image source: Use of insecticide aerosols in rooms before retiring at night 1.
