The Elimination of the Malaria Parasite 
The renewed spread of malaria in recent years, particularly in parts of sub-Saharan 
Africa, has been a cause of great concern to health workers and officials around the 
world. The global health community was once confident that the disease had been 
brought under control, with many successes in ridding large areas of malaria over the 
previous decades, but now increasingly large numbers of people are dying from the 
mosquito-borne ailment. Forty per cent of the world's population live in areas that are 
infected with malaria, and each year brings approximately 270 million new cases. Table 
1 summarises recent distribution by geographic area. 
The resurgence of malaria is occurring in several parts of the world. However, it is most 
acute in Africa, south of the Sahara Desert, where according to a 1993 World Health 
Organisation (WHO) report, between 1.4 and 2.8 million people, half of them children, 
now die each year from the disease. This is triple the annual number of people in the 
same region who die of AIDS. Actual numbers of malaria deaths may be even larger 
because the symptoms, such as chronic fever, are often mistaken for other, unrelated 
illnesses, such as influenza or pneumonia.
