Abstract

For centuries, malaria one of mankind’s oldest known diseases, has plagued civilizations, shaping the course of history with its devastating toll. From Sir Ronald Ross’s groundbreaking discovery of the mosquito-borne transmission in 1897 to the long and arduous journey of vaccine development, the battle against this parasitic menace has been relentless. The long-awaited breakthrough came with the introduction of RTS,S/AS01 (Mosquirix) and R21/Matrix-M, marking a historic milestone in the global efforts to curb malaria’s burden.
