Malaria Threat
An adult female Anopheles mosquito bites a human body to begin its blood meal at Tehatta, West Bengal; India on 29/06/2023. According to WHO's latest World Malaria Report, there were an estimated 241 million malaria cases and 627 000 malaria deaths worldwide in 2020. Anopheles mosquitoes transmit malaria. Female mosquitoes take blood meals for egg production, and these blood meals are the link between the human and the mosquito hosts in the parasite life cycle. According to a recent report, the first time the potentially fatal mosquito-borne malaria disease has been locally acquired in the United States in 20 years.
