ISIFINYEZO

Umalaleveva ubangelwa amagciwane anengqamuzana elilodwa eqembu le-plasmodium, ngokuvamile usakazwa ngokulunywa omiyane, futhi isifo esithathelwanayo esithinta izimpilo nokuphepha kwempilo yabantu nezinye izilwane.Iziguli ezitheleleke ngomalaleveva ngokuvamile zizoba nomkhuhlane, ukukhathala, ukuhlanza, ikhanda elibuhlungu nezinye izimpawu, futhi izimo ezinzima zingaholela ku-xanthoderma, isithuthwane, i-coma ngisho nokufa.Ngokwezibalo zeWorld Health Organisation (WHO), balinganiselwa ezigidini ezingama-300-500 izigameko zalesi sifo kanye nokufa kwabantu abangaphezu kwesigidi ngonyaka emhlabeni wonke.Ukuxilongwa ngesikhathi futhi okunembile kuyisihluthulelo sokulawula ukubhebhetheka kanye nokuvimbela ngempumelelo kanye nokwelapha umalaleveva.Indlela ye-microscopy evame ukusetshenziswa yaziwa ngokuthi indinganiso eyigolide yokuxilongwa umalaleveva, kodwa incike kakhulu emakhonweni nolwazi lwezisebenzi zezobuchwepheshe futhi ithatha isikhathi eside uma kuqhathaniswa.Ukuhlola Okusheshayo Umalaleveva (PF) kungathola ngokushesha i-antigen kuya ku-plasmodium falciparum histidine-rich proteins II ephuma egazini lilonke, engasetshenziswa ekuxilongeni okusizayo kokutheleleka nge-plasmodium falciparum (pf).
