Summary Introduction

To explain:

The analysis of the method, which is best in the long run. Also, determine the analysis of the biology of the disease and the efficacy of carrying out each of the methods on a large scale.

Introduction:

There are three methods of eradicating malaria which includes elimination of the mosquito vector from the body, killing of the parasites after they entered the human body, and the development of the vaccines against the parasite.

Even though genetically engineered mosquitoes might be developed that do not allow the reproduction of malaria protozoa, these mosquitoes would have little, if any, immediate effect on the spread of the disease. Why should this be so? What would have to happen for these mosquitoes to significantly affect the spread of malaria?
discuss methods used to control vector-borne diseases, specifically mosquitos. 1) Is there one method you think is more beneficial than others when it comes to the controlling and prevention of mosquito-borne diseases? Why/why not? 2) Also, how large do you think is the impact of human environmental change (man's activities) on emerging infectious diseases in animals and man?
A malaria vaccine has proved to be 77% effective in early trials and could be a major breakthrough against the disease, says the University of Oxford team behind it. Malaria kills more than 400,000 people a year, mostly children in sub-Saharan Africa. But despite many vaccines being trialled over the years, this is the first to meet the required target. The researchers say this vaccine could have a major public health impact. When trialled in 450 children in Burkina Faso, the vaccine was found to be safe, and showed "high-level efficacy" over 12 months of follow-up. Larger trials in nearly 5,000 children between the ages of five months and three years will now be carried out across four African countries to confirm the findings. Malaria is a life-threatening disease caused by parasites that are transmitted to people through mosquito bites. Although preventable and curable, the World Health Organization estimates there were 229 million cases worldwide in 2019 and 409,000 deaths.…
