Malaria & (Babs)

[Guest guest]

Yes- I think there are over 30 proteins expressed for Babs, and

something like 60 for malaria.

I know that for malaria p,vivax < 1% of the RBCs are parasitised

and symptoms are mainly mild, and it rarely progresses to complicated

Malaria (one of the sexual stages occur in the mosquito)... but p.

falsoparum is another story - it's sexual stage occurs in the body

so that's one one that can progress to coma, organ failure and death

(and it infects a high percentage of RBCs- I think anything >than 5%

and your in trouble).

In Malaria 100% of the time you have periodic fevers - even in the

case of uncomplicated malaria.

I just don't see how someone can have Babs that DOESN'T have fevers.
