Abstract
Mosquitoes transmit a wide range of diseases to humans and other
animals; the World Health Organization considers mosquitoes to be humans’
number one enemy. Various mosquito species such as Aedes, Anopheles,
and Culex spread the dreaded disease such as brain fever, chikungunya,
dengue fever, filariasis, hemorrhagic fever, Japanese encephalitis, malaria,
yellow fever and Zika. Mosquito-borne infections cause major economic concerns
for people. The current study examines year and state-by-state data on malaria
cases from 2020 to 2024 (up to August). According to National Center for Vector
Borne Disease Control (NCVBDC) data, expressed 1,86,532 cases of malaria fever
were registered in 2020, resulting in 98 fatalities, similarly, 1,61,752
malaria infected cases recorded among 90 deaths noted in 2021. Likewise, 1,76,522
cases were recorded, with 83 deaths recorded in 2022, in the year 2023, totally
2,27,564 cases with 83 mortalities recorded. In the current situation, 1,51,519
people have been infected, with 34 deaths documented up until August, 2024.
These data clearly reveal an elevated prevalence of malaria infections in
India.
