Abstract :

Malaria is a worldwide public health problem, with an estimated 229 million cases recorded in 2019. African countries accounted for approximately 94% of all reported cases. So far, over 200 different species of protozoa have been identified, with at least 13 of them being pathogenic to humans. The malaria parasite’s life cycle is a complex process involving an Anopheles mosquito and a vertebrate host. Its pathophysiology is characterized by fever caused by erythrocyte rupture, macrophage ingestion of merozoites, and/or the presence of antigen-presenting trophozoites in the circulation or spleen, which promotes tumor necrosis factor (TNF-) release. Malaria can be diagnosed clinically by observing the disease’s signs and symptoms. Other diagnostic methods for malaria include microscopic detection of parasites in blood smears and antigen-based fast diagnostic assays. Malaria treatment includes both preventive and curative measures. Because simple malaria can escalate to severe malaria if left untreated. WHO recommends using combination therapy for all bouts of malaria using at least two efficacious antimalarial drugs with diverse mechanisms of action to avoid or postpone the spread of antimalarial drug resistance. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) warns that no preventive agent can completely prevent malaria. As a result, prophylaxis must be supplemented with the use of personal protective measures.
