A world free of malaria is a most important aim of global health, apparently comprised by the WHO soon after its founding in 1948. Globally, the improved diagnostic and modern intervention tools for malaria eradication have been increased confidence, yet the mortality rates are increasing every year due to the malaria parasite. This vector borne disease also proclaims enormous economic loss by draining considerable funds that could have used for economic growth of countries and this ambition has motivated and inspired generations of health workers, malaria experts and global health leaders. Sustainable obstructions have played a vital role in malaria control; however, drug and insecticide resistance, social, demographic, cultural and behavioural beliefs and practices and unreformed health infrastructures may drift back the progress accomplished so far. All the researchers and malaria experts are still trying to eradicate malaria worldwide through several strategies.
Anopheles, Control strategies, Elimination programmes, Malaria burden, Plasmodium
