Fever and chills in malaria are caused by a pigment compound known as hemozoin, which is generally a by-product of the digestion of hemoglobin by malarial parasites.

Malaria is a contagious and sometimes life-threatening disease that is caused by a parasite known as plasmodium, transferred by a vector.

The female Anopheles mosquito works as a vector to transfer the parasite into the human body. When the parasites enter your body, they travel to the liver where they multiply. They possess the red blood cells in the liver and keep multiplying until the cell bursts. They digest the hemoglobin in the blood and form hemozoin.

Hemozoin is a necessary pigment for the survival of parasites and the removal of parasitic waste.

Common symptoms of malaria include fever, chills, and headache. These symptoms are generally caused due to release of parasitic waste through hemozoin. The medications prescribed for malaria inhibit the formation of hemozoin, thus preventing malaria.

What happens to a cell as the virus produces its progeny?
VladimirAG [237]

Answer:

Cells that support viral replication are called permissive. Infections of permissive cells are usually productive because infectious progeny virus is produced. Most productive infections are called cytocidal (cytolytic) because they kill the host cell. Infections of nonpermissive cells yield no infectious progeny virus and are called abortive. When the complete repertoire of virus genes necessary for virus replication is not transcribed and translated into functional products the infection is referred to as restrictive. In persistent and in some transforming infections, viral nucleic acid may remain in specific host cells indefinitely; progeny virus may or may not be produced.

Explanation:

Hope this helps! :)
