Difference between Infection and Malaria

Infection vs. Malaria

An infection is the invasion of tissues by pathogens, their multiplication, and the reaction of host tissues to the infectious agent and the toxins they produce. Malaria is a mosquito-borne infectious disease that affects vertebrates.

Similarities between Infection and Malaria

Infection and Malaria have 46 things in common (in Unionpedia): Agriculture, Antibody, Antigen, Antimicrobial resistance, Apicomplexan life cycle, Coinfection, Complication (medicine), COVID-19, Disease, Endemic (epidemiology), Eradication of infectious diseases, Fatigue, Fever, Filariasis, Gastroenteritis, Genome, Giemsa stain, HIV, Immune system, Immune tolerance, Immunity (medicine), Infectious diseases (medical specialty), Influenza, Malaria, Metabolism, Miasma theory, Nematode, Optical microscope, Parasitic worm, Parasitism, ..., Plasmodium, Pneumonia, Polymerase chain reaction, Red blood cell, Salmonella, Sepsis, Serology, Signs and symptoms, Syphilis, Vaccination, Vertically transmitted infection, Viral disease, Virulence, World Health Organization, X-ray, Zoonosis.

Agriculture

Agriculture encompasses crop and livestock production, aquaculture, fisheries, and forestry for food and non-food products.

Antibody

An antibody (Ab) is the secreted form of a B cell receptor; the term immunoglobulin (Ig) can refer to either the membrane-bound form or the secreted form of the B cell receptor, but they are, broadly speaking, the same protein, and so the terms are often treated as synonymous.

Antigen

In immunology, an antigen (Ag) is a molecule, moiety, foreign particulate matter, or an allergen, such as pollen, that can bind to a specific antibody or T-cell receptor.
