Giant Microbes, Malaria
SKU: 23354
|
Overview
Once found throughout the tropics and subtropics, malaria (Italian for "bad air") has been all but eradicated from the developed world.
Malaria is the work of the Plasmodium parasite and the Anopheles mosquito. When the mosquito stings an infected person, parasites are absorbed as it draws up blood. As the mosquito continues her rounds (only the females are bloodsuckers) the parasites are distributed and the disease spreads.
GIANTmicrobes® are stuffed animals that look like tiny microbes — only a million times actual size! They're humorous, educational, and fun! Each GIANTmicrobes® comes with an image and information about the real microbe it represents. They make great learning tools, as well as amusing gifts for anyone with a sense of humor. Collect them all!
