It is Still Killing: The Contunued Prevalence of Malaria

These are the words of Dr. Margaret Chan, the head of the World Health Organization and are in charge of guidance and coordination of the International Health Department. - Dr. Chen made this comment in a recent TV interview with the Ethiopian country of East Africa. There, the proportion of malaria infection increased. It is estimated that 300 million people suffer from malaria, less than 1% of 300 million people are killed and it is estimated that 5 million people will die each year.

Plasmodium malaria causes about 1 million deaths each year, most of which are children. Despite the joint efforts to eradicate and prevent malaria after the Second World War, the disease is still prevalent in many parts of the world. At the beginning of the 21st century, there was concern that the globalization process would increase malaria in some areas. In many low-income countries, mosquito management programs collapse and bring disastrous results, due to conflicts of the domestic and foreign and economic adversities. In other areas, global warming may expand the range of latitude and altitude of malaria infection. There is evidence already backed by explanation of ecological change. Unplanned rapid urbanization can lead to an increase in the availability of clean water farms and the increased number of tourists in malaria endemic areas put people at high income countries at risk

Although this disease is not common in temperate climates, malaria is still prevalent in tropical and subtropical countries. The World Health Authority is trying to reduce the incidence of malaria by distributing mosquito nets to protect people from being bitten by mosquitoes while sleeping. Scientists around the world are working on the development of vaccines against malaria. When a malaria parasite-infected mosquito bites a person not infected, malaria spreads. The parasite enters the human blood and moves to the liver. As parasites mature, they leave the liver and infect erythrocytes. Mosquitoes are infected when you eat infected people
