Abstract:

Malaria has been prevalent since the beginning of human history and continued to harm human beings for thousands of years. The malaria-transmitting parasite developed from single-celled organisms, and after a prolonged evolution period it finally infected humans. In 2021, World Health Organization (WHO) announced that China obtained malaria-free certification, indicating the country's absolute victory in the history of anti-malaria. In contrast, in other countries, especially in the African region, malaria remains rampant. This study applied an anthropomorphic approach to help people understand the harm caused by malaria, the causes and transmission methods of malaria, and the drugs as antimalarial weapon of human beings. Additionally, this study focused on the efficacy and development of antimalarial drugs dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT), quinine, and artemisinin. In the future, China Shencao will continue to benefit the world. Finally, this study demonstrates the scientific achievements regarding the Nobel Prize in the history of the fight against malaria and predicts the grim future of the malaria parasite as a parasite baby.
