Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: B
Solution:
Several species of Plasmodium cause malaria and it is an infectious disease.
But, Plasmodium, like germs of other infectious diseases, (such as cholera and smallpox, etc.) does not produce antibodies or antitoxins in human blood.
Therefore, treatment of malaria by inoculations or vaccinations is not feasible.
Quinine is used for the cure of malaria for as long as 300 years.
