Plasmodium falciparum, A.K.A the most deadly malaria parasite which is spread by the female Anopheles mosquito. The parasite mutates inside of the mosquito then moves to the salivary glands, waiting for their next victim.

Mosquitoes lay there eggs in stagnant and polluted water in humid areas. The larvae feed on organic matter in the dirty water.
Sub- Saharan Africa, being an area with rain forests, the most humid areas in the world, is where these mosquitoes thrive, spreading diseases, i.e. Malaria, and multiplying at high rates.

Where specifically is Malaria an Epidemic?

# data[].attributes.body
90% of Malarial deaths are in the Sub- Saharan areas, sub-tropic and tropic areas, specifically Ghana, Kenya, Democratic Republic of Congo and  Nigeria. In South-East Asia, the second most affected part of the world, India has the highest malaria burden, followed by Indonesia and Myanmar.

What are the effects on the people of Africa?

# data[].attributes.body
Malaria has made a significant impact on Africa. Over a million people die from Malaria, and 300-600 million are infected by the disease each year. The disease itself costs Africa about 12 million dollars each year, because people are not working. Malaria effects the productivity in farms, because the people are too sick to care or harvest the crops. Tourists will no longer come to Africa, because they fear that they will get the disease. Malaria causes a great amount to discontinue work and school, therefore people are not getting the education they need or a livable life that they deserve.

- GSK (GlaxoSmithKline, a pharmaceutical company) is working on the first vaccine ever and will help prevent malaria for people all around the world. Along with that , they will offer discounted prices for countries who can't afford the vaccine.
- The Global fund is an organization that is raising awareness about malaria, spraying homes, giving nets to people in need and removing any breeding sites of the malaria parasites.
- The Against Malaria foundation is distributing nets to people in need of protection from malaria.

The nothing but nets organization is a foundation to raise money for mosquito nets to be distributed throughout Africa. A simple donation of 10 dollars can save a life from Malaria. All the donations go towards mosquito nets. This organization is one of the top two most effective organizations for malaria. They originated in 2013 and still continuing till this day saving millions of African lives with a simple net.
Malaria No more is an organization that raises money to donate more medical equipment to treat the malaria disease in Africa. In Africa a majority of their population lives in poverty and can't afford the simple medicine to cure malaria. This organization , along with Nothing But Nets, are key factors in the fight against Malaria. Along as a huge stride in spreading the idea of malaria throughout the world.

Although the idea of this seems impossible to distribute to that many people, this is actually an effective way to stop Malaria. Due to the fact that the parasite infected mosquitoes bite mostly between the hours of 9 pm and 5 am, sleeping inside mosquito nets is beneficial. This keeps the human inside safe from mosquitoes. However, this cannot stop the spread of Malaria, only slow it by roughly 90%. This is because humans cannot spend their entire lives inside a mosquito net.

The paperfuge is a centrifuge made out of paper, strings and two handles. When the strings are pulled, it makes the paper spin. Inside the paper are little capillaries that your blood goes into when the spinning paperfuge is next to your skin.  The paperfuge separates the plasma from the rest of the blood, and any other bacteria or viruses like Malaria. Through the blood, they can diagnose you if you have a disease. Because the paperfuge involves inexpensive items, the paperfuge costs less than a dollar to makeso it is very easy to afford for people around the world. Because of this, the paperfuge would help easily detect diseases and help counter them in their early stages

DDT has been used inside houses in hope to repel and kill the bugs before they get inside of homes. However, in America the use of DDT has been very dangerous on not only the mosquito's health, but in addition the humans and animals living around the bugs. In 1972, the usage of DDT was banned in America but Uganda's Ministry of Health and National Malaria Control Program argues that DDT is the answer to stopping Malaria, and that it has been given a bad reputation and that in reality, it may be the only way to permanently stop the infection.

There is a wide variety of forms of slowing and erasing the spread of malaria from Africa. However, the problem is there is no one good way to stop this. Between the research further into medical history and information, DDT, spraying lakes, sleeping in mosquito nets and avoiding, there is lots of ways to prevent this. In efforts to stop Malaria, nets are the first action that needs to be taken. People should be required to sleep in Mosquito nets until further notice. With the money supplied, bags would be distributed  across the countries Malaria has hit the hardest. After this is achieved, DDT would be the next form of action to finally kill the mosquitoes. People can get their houses sprayed, and important buildings can also be done.

There is a vaccine being tested, and it would be the first vaccine against Malaria. It has the go ahead by the World Health organization to be tested in 2018. The countries the vaccine is going to be administered in are Kenya, Ghana and Malawi. It has the potential to save many lives and is seen as very successful.

# data[].attributes.body
It is highly important to find a medical solution. Organizations are invested in finding a cure for this disease in hopes to discover more about this killer and go at a more effective way to stop it.

An ineffective strategy, however avoiding the bugs is another form of prevention. However, while in America it's possible to stay indoors due to the security of our buildings and houses, in much of Africa the building security makes it hard for this to be a certain way to avoid the malaria infected mosquitoes. Yet, it could slow the likely hood of getting bitten.

Mosquitoes reproduce in stationary water sources such as lakes and large puddles. While it is hard to remove of lakes and puddles, spraying them with chemicals prevents the reproduction of the infected mosquitoes. Although the downside to this for Africa is major. By spraying chemicals into lakes, although it does stop mosquitoes from breeding in those lakes, the water is no longer clean drinking water. This will help to stop Malaria from spreading, but at the cost of Africa's water.
