Malaria is a deadly disease that is responsible for the deaths of many people across the globe, killing over 1 million people each year. Research shows that the most fatal type of malaria is caused by Plasmodium falciparum parasite. It is estimated that over half a million people across the globe get infected with malaria annually. In the year 2010 alone, the World Health Organization(WHO) reported 655,000 deaths.

Malaria, if diagnosed at an early stage can be treated effectively. Doctors have come up with malaria test kits which are not only accurate, but are also affordable to most people and can easily diagnose the presence of this deadly parasite.

You can also keep malaria at bay by implementing simple remedies at home. You can buy powerful mosquito repellent creams, have a mosquito net over your bed and also get rid of nearby bushes or stagnant water that offer rich breeding grounds for mosquitoes. If you are going to travel to malaria prone geographic area, you need to carry enough anti-malaria medication and take the required dose as prescribed.
