Conquering Malaria In Africa
Joshua Allen Deaton
Michigan State University

Conquering Malaria In Africa Malaria is the most problematic, and therefore the most important of the parasitic diseases of humans. Analysis of the effects of the acute infectious disease known as Malaria demonstrates the importance of conquering/eliminating the spreading Malaria epidemic. It is believed that the successful elimination of the malaria epidemic will be possible through numerous effective intervention stratagies, and new research and development breakthroughs. Further, decreasing the popular negative perspective of Africa that currently is still a significant cause of the discriminative exclusion and detrimental economic challenges that Africa is still currently dealing with.

    A problem that affects more than 70% percent of Americans and costs those same Americans over $250 billion annually (Sparks 1). This controversial problem can only be described as the cost of prescription medication. Currently, Americans pay on average $858 annually for prescription medication which is more than 17% percent of total healthcare expenses (Thompson 1). That figure is more than double the average prescription cost across 19 other industrialized countries (Thompson 1). These alarming numbers will also not stop growing, “four of the top ten prescription drugs in the United States have increased in price be more than 100 percent since 2011” (“THE FACTS ABOUT RISING PRESCRIPTION” 2 ). An antimalarial drug was just increased by more than 5,000% from about $13 to $750 (Thompson 2). These rising prices caused more than 35 million Americans to not fill their prescriptions last year (Sanders 1).…

    Malaria is one of the most devastating and infectious disease in many areas of the world and more or so in many developing countries in Africa, Asia, Middle East, South America and Central America. This disease has been noted for more than 4000 years (Center for disease control, Para 3). In addition, Malaria causes death in children after prenatal conditions, lower respiratory infections, and diarrhea diseases. The number of children dying from the disease is higher than in adults. The number of people infected with malaria worldwide could be almost twice as high as previously predicted, according to an international study conducted by the World Health Organization (WHO). They further estimated that, in 2002, 2.2 billion people were exposed to infection by the Parasite Plasmodium and more than 1 million deaths are recorded annually (World Health Organization, Para 5).…
