Question

Mention whether the following statements are true (T) or false (F). Louis Pasteur discovered a cure for malaria T/F.

Answer 1

Hint: He is known for his discoveries of the principle of vaccination, pasteurization, and microbial fermentation. He is a French biologist, microbiologist, and chemist. He was always remembered for his discoveries for the causes of the diseases and also for their prevention. The discoveries made by him saved many lives.

Complete answer:
-Louis Pasteur developed the vaccine for the Anthrax in 1881, which is very successful in sheep, goats, and cows.
-While studying rabies, he also tested his first human vaccine in 1885. He developed his first vaccine by attenuating the virus in the body of the rabbits and then harvest it from their spinal cord
-So, Louis Pasteur discovered a cure for malaria is a false statement.

Additional Information: -Malaria caused by the plasmodium vivax parasite is a life-threatening disease. This disease is transmitted when the infected and awful mosquito bites the person.
-The infected Anopheles mosquito carries the plasmodium parasites and when this mosquito bites the healthy human it releases the parasites into their bloodstream.
-Sir Ronald Ross known for his work on malaria disease. He dissects the stomach tissue of an Anopheles mosquito, who is allowed to feed 4 days on a malaria patient. And in the stomach tissue of the Anopheles mosquito, he found the malaria parasites. Thus, prove the role of the Anopheles mosquito in the transmission of the malaria parasite in humans.
-Ross describes the complete life cycle of the malaria parasite and for days he also won the Nobel prize for medicines in 1902.
-His studies on the transmission of the malaria disease have the future scientist to effectively combat the disease.
-His research showed that the female anopheles mosquito is the vector of the disease and producing medicine against this problem will prevent malaria and in turn saving the number of lives.
-The drug Chloroquine was discovered by Hans Andersag in Germany in 1934.
So, the correct answer is ‘True’.

Note: -Hence, malaria is an infectious disease caused by the parasitic protozoan microorganisms known as plasmodium. The vector of this disease is the female Anopheles mosquito.
-Ross describes the complete life cycle of the malarial parasite and for this, he also won the Nobel prize.
