Abstract Malaria kills between 1.5-2.7 million people in the world each year, and between 300-500 million others fall ill from it, often severely. Over a million of these deaths are in children aged under five. The control of malaria is hampered by numerous factors, including the rising cost of operations, in the spread of drug resistance, in malarious areas and increased resistance of malaria vectors to insecticides. Thus, there is an urgent need of other control measures as development of vaccines, new drugs and insecticides. Parasite, mosquito and human genome projects are helping in the search for new control tools and international donors are developing new funding mechanisms that could make them available to poor countries. In Yemen , about 12 million (60), live in malarious areas. |
