King Tutankhamun’s sickness called malaria is the most logical way that Tut died so young. According to NYTimes article “Scientist have now determined that the most likely agents of death: a severe bout of malaria combined with a degenerative bone condition.” This shows that scientist may have found scientific evidence that says that Tut died from malaria. For example malaria shuts down your organs‚ and your organs help you have strength. If Tuts organs failed he could have fallen‚ and nobody was

Plasmodium‚ which infects red blood cells in mammals (including humans)‚ birds‚ and reptiles‚ occurs worldwide‚ especially in tropical and temperate zones. The organism is transmitted by the bite of the female Anopheles mosquito. Other insects and some mites may also transmit forms of malaria to animals. Five species of Plasmodium are known to cause human malaria: P. vivax (producing the most widespread form)‚ P. ovale (relatively

ORGANIC MOSQUITO TRAP Mosquito traps are really useful nowadays. Why? Well‚ obviously‚ mosquitoes are really irritating and may cause deadly disease; example dengue. So the main purpose of our Investigatory Project is to at least lessen the widespread mosquito procreation. Our Investigatory Project is very easy to make and very affordable. The things that are needed in this project can be seen inside our own dwelling place. ACKNOWLEDGEMENT Marinel

In 2010‚ malaria caused an estimated 655‚000 deaths (with an uncertainty range of 537‚000 to 907‚000)‚ mostly among African children. Increased malaria prevention and control measures are dramatically reducing the malaria burden in many places but it is still a massive problem. According to the World malaria report 2011‚ there
