Malaria – Market Outlook, Epidemiology, Competitive Landscape, and Market Forecast Report – 2023 To 2033

Malaria is an acute febrile illness that arises from the transmission of Plasmodium parasites through the bites of infected female Anopheles mosquitoes. In humans, five parasite species are capable of causing malaria, with P. falciparum and P. vivax posing the most significant risk. P. falciparum is Africa's most prevalent and deadliest parasite species, while P. vivax dominates in most countries outside of sub-Saharan Africa. The onset of malaria symptoms, which include fever, headache, and chills, usually occurs 10-15 days after the infective mosquito bite. These symptoms can be mild and difficult to recognize as malaria. However, if left untreated, P. falciparum malaria can quickly progress to severe illness and death within 24 hours. Fever is a hallmark symptom of malaria that is triggered by the release of parasites every 2 to 3 days, depending on the Plasmodium species. High parasite burdens can result in severe and life-threatening malaria, causing hemolysis and severe a...
