Abstract
Malaria is one of the most spread parasitic diseases in the world, certainly, in tropical areas, it kills millions of
people in those parts of the world chiefly pregnant ladies and young children.
several efforts attempt to control malaria in these areas, but it faced by many factors such as wars, vector
resistance to insecticides, poor knowledge and practice of health care workers and the absence of good
communications between international organizations and policymakers in that regions.
Many attempts to produce an effective vaccine against malaria failed due to looking to the parasitic cycle from
one side and regardless of the sexual cycle within Anopheles mosquito. I suggest that the key to the malaria
vaccine starts from the salivary gland of Anopheles mosquito.
This paper is my word to heath organizations and medical research centers to support my view to gain a
future vaccine to the malaria parasite.
