A recent analysis reveals an alarming impact of climate change: 5 billion people world wide could face malaria by 2040. 

The risk is especially high in Africa,where 1 billion people are at risk, complicating control efforts. 

The analysis warned that extended transmission seasons and mosquito migration jeopardizes progress, affecting high-burden countries like Mozambique, which also face rapid population growth.  

Further projections show potential threats in the United States, with warmer temperatures and increased rainfall intensifying malaria risk in vulnerable areas

On a positive note, Jonathan Kurti, won Falk Medical Research Trust Transformational Award for anti malarial research, offering hope with stage-specific drugs and antibodies for severe cases and short-term prevention.
