What is Malaria?
Malaria is one of the worldwide diseases known as a mosquito-borne infectious disease. It is accompanied by the symptom such as high fever, shivering, arthralgia (joint pain), vomiting, and etc. The typical symptom of malaria is cyclical occurrence of sudden coldness followed by rigor and fever and sweating. The seriousness depends on the type and the most serious form is caused by Plasmodium falciparum which needs the fast treatment. Otherwise it may be fatal to death. Four species of the Plasmodium parasites are responsible for malaria infections in human viz. P. falciparum, P.vivax, P.ovale and P.malariae.
In humans, the parasites (called sporozoites) migrate to the liver where they mature and release another form, the merozoites. The disease now occurs in more than 90 countries worldwide, and it is estimated that there are over 500 million clinical cases and about 2 million malaria-caused deaths per year.
