Malaria Scholarly Journal

Malaria is a serious disease caused by parasites of the genus Plasmodium, which is transmitted to humans by the bite of an infected female Anopheles mosquito. Malaria remains the leading cause of death worldwide, and early diagnosis and quick-acting treatment prevent unwanted results. It is the most common disease in Africa and some Asian countries, while in the developed world, malaria occurs when imported from endemic regions. Sweet sagebrush was used in the second century BC to treat malaria fever in China. Much later, quinine began to be used as an antimalarial drug. A global battle against malaria started in 1955 and Croatia has declared 1964 to be the year of malaria eradication. The World Health Organization has a global malaria program, focused on local strengthening of primary health care, early diagnosis of disease, early treatment and prevention of disease. Globally, the burden of malaria is lower than a decade ago. However, in recent years the number of malaria cases has increased worldwide. It is moving towards targets set by WHO, but this progress has slowed down.
