3. What is Malaria? Malaria is a parasite that enters the blood.
This parasite is a protozoan called Plasmodium.
3 to700 million people get malaria each year,but only kills 1 to 2 million
40% of the worlds population lives in Malaria zones
Malaria zones are: Africa, India, Middle East, South East Asia, central and South America, Eastern Europe, and the South Pacific

4. Classification
Phylum: Protozoa Subphylum: Plasmodroma Class: Sporozoa Subclass: Haemosporidae Genus: Plasmodium
plasmodium falciparum
plasmodium vivax
plasmodium oval
plasmodium malaria
# . Recently plasmodium knowls has been reported and identified as cause malaria in monkeys and humans.

5. History and future research
One of the oldest known diseases.
References to malaria have been recorded for nearly 6000 years, starting in China.
First advances in malaria were made in 1880 by a French army doctor named Charles
Charles Finlay discovered that mosquitoes transmitted diseases.
Ronald Ross discovered that mosquitoes transmitted malaria in 1898.
First effective medicine was discovered by Pierre Pelletier and Joseph Caventou.
This medicine is called quinine, which comes from the bark of cinchona trees in Peru.
No effective vaccine: only immunity is a result of multiple infections.
The World Health Organization (WHO) applied a guidelines that could be followed to cure malaria on a global level.

6. History and future research
For more than 4000 years malaria was revealed and reported in many places all over the world, such as, Chinese medical writings in 2700 BC, Greece books in the 4th century and in the ancient Roman Manuscripts . It was identified as severe ague then called malaria (Mal'aria) which means bad air in Italian.

12. Conclusion Malaria is an old disease which has been for more than 4000 years. The cause of this disease is a parasite which has more than 200 species and its life cycle is distributed between vector (mosquito) and host (mosquito and human). Different treatment policies No vaccines (complicated life cycle) Parasite resistance towads antimalarial drugs
