Feb 12, 2013 at 20:01 comment added kashif @MattDMo hmm!. I always tell my friends who curse the medical science to not to eat anti malarial tablets when they get malaria. I tell them that one infected with malaria will 100% die if they don't eat antimalarial tablets which is a medical science creation. so MattDmo am I right when I say that to support medical science to my friends who it. I mean if malarial patient doesn't take antimalaria, will he die?

Feb 12, 2013 at 19:46 comment added MattDMo The short answer is yes, at least with P. falciparum. Even if they're not taking anti-malarials, not everyone who gets bitten by an infected mosquito becomes symptomatic (I don't know about RBC entry, that may happen too quickly). Unfortunately I don't have the references handy, which is why this isn't a formal answer, but this information came from a professor studying the immune evasion techniques of the parasite.
