Malaria
effects 600 million people a year worldwide.
Malaria is an infectious
parasite disease occurring mostly in tropical areas, and transmitted by
the female Anopheles mosquito. While the battle against Malaria is being
contained in developed countries, where little or no action is taken to
combat the disease.
The spread of Malaria is
of major concern , as most drugs used to prevent and combat it are
slowly becoming less effective as the disease grows more resistant to
them. At present various Malaria vaccines are being developed, some with
promising results. However, there is still a lot of work and testing to
be done before we may see the possible eradication of this often deadly
disease. However, there is still a lot of work and testing to be
