How to fight malaria
Mosquitoes are responsible for a wide range of vector-borne diseases, including malaria.1 It is transmitted by female mosquitoes of Genus Anopheles.4 It is endemic in tropical and sub-tropical regions where 300 million people are infected with a death of one million each year.2 Malaria continues to be a major health problem and it is going out of control because of parasite resistance to drugs, insecticide resistance of vector and unplanned land use changes.3
