Currently there are medicines available to treat falciparum malaria-the most prevalent form of the disease in Africa-but this requires a 3-day treatment course. Ideally, we need a drug that needs just one administration to ensure that treatment can be directly observed by the healthcare worker.
Sub-Saharan Africa's Tropical climate is the main reason malaria is so prevalent in this region. It is also the reason that malaria eradication is so difficult here. 90% of malaria deaths are now localized to sub-Saharan Africa.(This is partially due to poverty causing unnecessary deaths because of a lack of treatment, but overall, most cases of malaria occur here as well.) Areas with sub-tropical climates also face severe Malaria, but these places have cool seasons.0% of malaria deaths are now localized to sub-Saharan Africa.
