Malaria is reported to have badly affect 300 to 500 million people every year and causes over 1 million deaths. Due to Malaria a person gets a high fever, shivering, joint pain, anemia and vomiting. If malaria is not treated on time, it will end up in severe medical complications and even lead to death. Unfortunately, we do not have vaccines to treat malaria although its being researched and developed for testing.
