چکیده
Malaria has emerged as one of the top 10 killer diseases in the world. It is the major cause of mortality in tropical and subtropical regions. Nearly half of world population is vulnerable to malaria. About 500 million people suffer from malaria leading to death in 2 to 3.0 million cases. Majority of the cases as well as deaths occur in sub-Saharan Africa. Outside Africa, the disease is seen in about 100 countries–Indian subcontinent and Brazil contributing two thirds of these cases.
