Question 58

Question
what is the cultural change in Stratford as a result of immigration and gentrification
Answer
  • immigration has shaped the local culture by devaluing local pubs. As many immigrants do not drink alcohol due to religious beliefs; this has caused many local pubs to close
  • recent gentrification has meant many middle class residents have moved in, bringing with them luxury stores causing other to have to move out due to higher cost of living. This has affected culture as local shops closed and chain stores opened turning stratford into a homogenised place

Answer
  • Around 90% of deaths occur in Africa, where an estimated one-child death per minute occurs through malaria, although Asia, Latin America and the Middle East also experience the disease.
  • Temperature is particularly critical. For example, at temperatures below 20oC Plasmodium falciparum cannot complete its growth cycle.
  • Countries found along the equator see a higher risk and are locations where transmission occurs
  • Countries found along the equator see the lowest risk and are locations where transmission doesn't occur
  • in Africa, where an estimated one-adult death per minute occurs through malaria,

Question 81

Question
what is the prevalence of malaria around the globe
Answer
  • Malaria infects around 500 million people yearly and causes over 1 million deaths.
  • Globally, around 3.2 billion people are at risk of contracting the disease.
  • The incidence of malaria was found to significantly decrease with age. The risk of malaria is higher in children under 10 years.
  • The incidence of malaria was found to significantly increase with age. The risk of malaria is higher in children over 16 years.

Question 82

Question

  • 1. Bite from an infected mosquito
  • 2. Parasite starts reproducing in the liver, some parasites remaining dormant for years before becoming activated.
  • 3. In the blood stream, further reproduction occurs within red blood cells

Question 83

Question

Answer
  • True
  • False

Question 84

Question
Elements of the physical environment causing malarias transmission/ Environmental variables affecting malarias transmission
Answer
  • Altitude is one of the most important factors that determines the pattern of malaria transmission in Ethiopia. Altitude in Ethiopia varies from 100 metres below sea level to more than 4,000 metres above sea level.
  • Relative humidity affects malaria transmission through its effect on the activity and survival of mosquitoes. Mosquitoes survive better under conditions of high humidity.
  • The local natural environment is responsible for the existence of the mosquito and the Plasmodium parasite.
  • The local natural environment is not responsible for the existence of the mosquito and the Plasmodium parasite.
  • Relative humidity affects malaria transmission through its effect on the activity and survival of mosquitoes. Mosquitoes survive better under conditions of low humidity.

Question 85

Question
Socio-economic factors affecting malaria's transmission
Answer
  • When mosquitos bite infected people, they become infected themselves and spread the disease on to other people.
  • A greater number of infections occur where people have low immunity. This makes malaria more prevalent within endemic areas that are holiday destinations or places where people migrate to.
  • Overcrowding, high rates of urbanisation and poor quality housing all enable the rapid spread of the infection.
  • The economic impact of malaria is estimated to cost Africa $12 billion every year.
  • The economic impact of malaria is estimated to cost Africa $120 million every year.
  • underpopulation, high rates of urban-rural migration and poor quality housing all enable the rapid spread of the infection.

Answer
  • The WHO African Region continues to carry a disproportionately high share of the global malaria burden. In 2015, the region was home to 90% of malaria cases and 92% of malaria deaths.
  • Some 13 countries - mainly in sub-Saharan Africa - account for 76% of malaria cases and 75% deaths globally.
  • Some 15 countries - mainly in sub-Saharan Africa - account for 76% of malaria cases and 75% deaths globally.

Question 87

Question
management and mitigation strategies for malaria
Answer
  • Prevention: anti-malarial medicines can be prescribed to people visiting affected areas temporarily. Diagnosis and treatments prevents deaths and helps reduce transmission.
  • Management: controlling vectors reduces malaria transmission. Sleeping beneath insecticide-treated mosquito nets (ITNs) or indoor residential insecticide (IRS) spraying can both be effective.
  • Eradication: malaria elimination is achieved when cases of malaria have been reduced to zero. Eradication occurs when the reduction of cases to zero become permanent. Although malaria cases are decreasing among 55 countries, only 4 countries have eliminated the disease.
