Most Dangerous Parasite
Malarial parasites of the genus Plasmodium, which are carried by Anopheles mosquitoes, have probably been responsible for half of all human deaths (excluding wars and accidents) since the Stone Age.
Malaria, the most important parasite disease in the world, is thought to be responsible for 300 million cases of illness and up to a million deaths annually, more than 90% of which occur in sub-Saharan Africa.
Researches were done on the insects whereby the DNAs of the parasite were extracted and those that were analyzed were the offspring’s of wild mosquitoes from a village in Mali where malaria is endemic.
Researches are going to help bring this widespread to a minimum.
