A Review on Malaria, its Control and Management

Abstract

A parasitic infection of major worldwide significance is malaria. One of the most common illnesses in humans worldwide, malaria is nevertheless comparatively rare in wealthy nations where it primarily affects travellers who have just returned from endemic areas. Malaria is a major source of sickness and mortality in areas where it is endemic, as well as a major social and economic burden. The current focus of malaria control is to lower attributable morbidity and mortality. In some endemic locations, targeted chemoprophylaxis and the use of bed nets treated with pesticide have been effective. Personal safety precautions and the proper chemoprophylaxis can considerably lower the risk of infection for travellers to malaria-endemic areas. It is crucial to assess febrile travellers as away, have a high level of suspicion for malaria, make an accurate diagnosis right away, and start the proper antimalarial treatment.
