Malaria: The Global Fight Against a Deadly Disease

Malaria, caused by the Plasmodium parasite and spread by Anaphiles mosquitoes, affects millions annually, with a significant death toll, especially among children. The disease strains resources in developing countries, and drug companies are hesitant to invest in research due to low returns. Prevention efforts, like providing treated mosquito nets in Kenya, are crucial. Research is ongoing to disrupt the parasite's lifecycle, with promising findings from Keele University on enhancing parasite elimination within mosquitoes.
