QUESTION:
What is pf and pv?
ANSWER:
“Pf” stands for Plasmodium falciparum and “Pv” stands for Plasmodium vivax. These are two different species of the parasite that causes malaria in humans. Pf causes the most acute, severe form of the disease, which can have a cerebral manifestation (“cerebral malaria”) and causes the most deaths worldwide. Pv is still a serious disease, but usually less severe. If diagnosed early, both forms are easily treated and completely curable.
Malaria is not a dreadful disease if initially detected and treated,survival rates is higher.Moreover we should not leave any breeding place in our surrounding.Awareness about it is very necessary.
