The malaria endemic problem is major concern in 14 states and the highland areas of north eastern states and the eight other states of India. The annual prevalence of malaria is estimated 75 million and the death rate is 8 lakhs during the year 1953, and it is gradually reduced to 1.04 million cases and a death rate is 678 in the year 2010. Though a significant result was obtained by the national malaria control programs, the urban and the highland malaria is a very big challenging problem in India.
