Each year, it causes disease in approximately 650 million people and kills between one and three million, most of them young children in Sub-Saharan Africa. malaria is commonly-associated with poverty, but is also a cause of poverty and a major hindrance to economic development. Malaria is one of the most common Infectious Diseases and an enormous public-health problem. The disease is caused by protozoanparasites of the genusPlasmodium. The most serious forms of the disease are caused by Plasmodium falciparum and Plasmodium vivax, but other related species (Plasmodium ovale, Plasmodium malariae, and sometimes Plasmodium knowlesi) can also infect humans. This group of human-pathogenic Plasmodiumspecies is usually referred to as malaria parasites. [1]
