Malaria Control & Elimination

Plasmodium falciparum-caused malaria is life-threatening and continues to be a global concern. According to the World Health Organization's (WHO) report, this disease affects hundreds of millions of people annually. There were approximately 247 million cases of malaria reported in 2022. Female anopheles mosquitoes, which bite between dusk and dawn, carry this disease. Additionally, they are referred to as "night-biting" mosquitoes. The rapid diagnostic test (RDT), clinical diagnosis, polymerase chain reaction (PCR), and microscopic diagnosis are some of the methods used to identify malaria. The capabilities of the available human determine the efficacy of conventional diagnostic techniques like PCR and clinical testing.

The world's enormous relationship between fauna and flora today is caused by many things, including the largest ever increase in population and the expansion of transportation infrastructure. These forces break down boundaries in biogeography, causing species to first appear in unfamiliar environments. The Americas are expected to suffer damage worth more than $120 billion annually as a result of these species' invasion. Pandemics and epidemics caused by arthropods have the potential to spread lethal viruses and parasites, posing a threat to the world's expanding human and animal populations.
