Question

Which of the following is the most effective control for malaria?
A)vaccination
B)treating patients
C)eliminate Anopheles mosquitoes
D)eliminate the intermediate host
E)None of these is an effective control.

Accepted Answer

Malaria is caused by Plasmodium parasites which are transmitted by the Anopheles mosquito. Therefore, eliminating Anopheles mosquitoes is the most effective control measure for malaria. Vaccination is still under development and has limited efficacy, treatment is necessary but does not prevent further spread, and elimination of the intermediate host (such as humans or animals) is not feasible.
