2. Biological Classification Classification The process of grouping living organisms into convenient categories based on simple characters is known as classification. 1. Two kingdom classification Carolus Linnaeus divided all living things into two kingdoms- Plantae and Animalia. 2. Five kingdom classification R.H. Whittaker divided all living things into five kingdoms- Monera‚ Protista‚ Fungi‚ Plantae‚ and Animalia. The main criteria for classification included o cell structure o thallus

needed because there are numerous species of vectors and four species ofPlasmodium. * Some populations of Plasmodium‚ especially Plasmodium falciparum‚ are resistant to drugs‚ so alternative drugs need to be used. * Research needs to be done on new drugs as a "reserve weapon" for future cases of drug resistance. Unfortunately‚ drug resistance is more common in malaria caused by Plasmodium falciparum‚ the most dangerous type of malaria‚ than in the other three species. * Some populations of mosquitoes

protists. There are about 4‚000 known species‚ but this is certainly just an understatement of the actual number. Of the described species seven genera infect humans; these include the following: Plasmodium‚ Babesia‚ Cryptosporidium‚ Isospora‚ Toxoplasma‚ Cyclospora and Sarcocystis. Species in the genus Plasmodium cause malaria in humans and other animals; an estimated 300 million people in over 90 countries are infected with malaria‚ and over 1 million die from it each year.

Illness and death from infectious diseases are particularly tragic because they are preventable and treatable. Not surprisingly‚ the poorest and most vulnerable are the most severely affected by infectious disease. Infectious diseases are a major cause of death‚ disability and social and economic turmoil for millions around the world. Poverty stricken countries lack access to health care. Reports show that in nations with the lowest economic status the causes of death are primarily infectious and

Introduction Malaria is one of the leading causes of mortality rates in most parts of Sub-Saharan Africa. Caused by Plasmodium Falciparum‚ the disease serves as one of the leading threats to human population across the continent. Theoretical concepts tend to front mosquitoes and hence the parasite it carries as the main reason behind the high impacts of Malaria. However‚ research indicates that the spread of the effects of malaria has majorly been caused other health factors‚ for instance‚ decline

Belonging to the B-complex vitamin family‚ an optimal amount of vitamin B5 should be included in a healthy diet to ensure good health and proper functioning of all the organ systems. This vitamin serves a wide range of functions in the body‚ from the production neurotransmitters in the brain‚ the fabrication of steroids‚ enhancing the immune system to the extraction of fats‚ proteins and other important nutrients from food. Vitamin B5 is also found in blood plasma and is sometimes called panthenoic
