Difference between Malaria and Public health

Malaria vs. Public health

Malaria is a mosquito-borne infectious disease affecting humans and other animals caused by parasitic protozoans (a group of single-celled microorganisms) belonging to the Plasmodium type. Public health is "the science and art of preventing disease, prolonging life and promoting human health through organized efforts and informed choices of society, organizations, public and private, communities and individuals".

Similarities between Malaria and Public health

Malaria and Public health have 20 things in common (in Unionpedia): Antimicrobial resistance, Carlos Finlay, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Chronic condition, Disease, Endemic (epidemiology), Health education, HIV, Infant mortality, Infection, Intermittent preventive therapy, Miasma theory, Mosquito, Ronald Ross, The Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria, Traditional Chinese medicine, Walter Reed, World Health Organization, Yellow fever, Zoonosis.

Antimicrobial resistance

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR or AR) is the ability of a microbe to resist the effects of medication that once could successfully treat the microbe.

Miasma theory

The miasma theory (also called the miasmatic theory) is an obsolete medical theory that held that diseases—such as cholera, chlamydia, or the Black Death—were caused by a miasma (μίασμα, ancient Greek: "pollution"), a noxious form of "bad air", also known as night air.
