Solution:
On a global scale malaria is the most prevalent infectious disease affecting humans: malaria parasites now infect over 500 million people every year, killing up to 2 million and causing at least 100 million cases of acute illness. Its importance as a public health problem is reflected by the staggering toll malaria extracts in illness and suffering. In general, malaria epidemiology has the characteristics of a stable, endemic infectious disease. Consequently, at a macro-epidemiologic level, malaria is not as much an emerging disease as it is an established, intractable public health plague for fully one-third of the earth's population [1,2].
From a micro-epidemiologic perspective malaria is a very dynamic infection and disease. Many forces are at play: malaria transmission is extending to affect new populations and geographic regions, the malaria parasite's biology is evolving, particularly with respect to susceptibility to drugs, and recent research has identified previously poorly understood facets of the health impact of malaria illness, especially as it interfaces with emerging public health threats such as AIDS.
Despite considerable effort for eradication or control during this century, malaria is still the most prevalent and, from the public health standpoint, the most devastating disease in the tropics. While some countries have successfully managed the threat of malaria, there has been a dramatic, worldwide increase in malaria-related illness and death over the past two decades. In many parts of the globe, malaria is not only a major threat to public health, but is a major impediment to development through excessive public health costs, lost productivity and impaired individual growth.
