==Vector==
*treatment
*economical development
==Prophylaxis==
*ABCD of malaria prophylaxis
**Awareness
**Bite protection
**Chemoprophylaxis
**Diagnosis and treatment
*atovaquone/proguanil
**effective for both of liver stage and blood stage
**needs 1 week continuation after leaving endemic area
*mefloquine, doxycycline
**effective only in blood stage
**needs 4 weeks continuation after leaving endemic area
==Malaria immunology==
===Reasons why immunity against ''Plasmodium'' needs repetitive infections===
*Genetic heterogeneity of ''Plasmodium''
*Modulation of host immune responses by ''Plasmodium''
==SymptomsClinical feature=====severe malaria===*cerebral malaria*AKI, acute renal failure**"black water fever", mechanism unknown***treatment with quinine is associated with black water fever*jaundice*acidosis*ARDS*DIC, less common*purpura fulminans, due to coagulation abnormality; rare condition *mortality due to falciparum increases according to age
==Diagnosis==
*there is no definitive diagnosis for cerebral malaria, only clinical diagnosis
*pathogenesis of cerebral malaria is still unknown
===microscopy===

==Treatment==
*Quinine [ku-'''wai'''-na-in]
===arteminisin-based combination therapy===
*to reduce parasites by rapid-acting arteminisin
*to prevent recrudescence and drug resistance by lumefantrine or others
*arteminisin resistant around Thailand-Myanmar border and Thailand-Cambodia border
*IV forumulations for severe malarial patients who have difficulty in PO administration
**IV artesunate is more effective than IV quinine
***IV artesunate is unavailable in Japan
===clinical classification of malaria===
{|class="wikitable"
|non-falciparum
|}
*no specific additional treatment for cerebral malaria other than usual malaria treatment, nothing proved effective
