Okay this question says, global estimates of death from malaria are between 700 ,000 and 2 million people annually, with 75 % of the dead being children in africa.

What aspects of the parasite's life cycle make it so hard to eradicate? so there are several aspects of the malaria parasite's life cycle that can make it difficult to eradicate.
00:24
So let's mention some of them.
00:25
For example, you have multiple hosts.
00:35
The malaria parasite requires both a human host and a mosquito host to complete its life cycle.
00:40
This means that efforts to control or eradicate the disease must address both human and mosquito populations, which can be challenging.
00:48
Second, you have resistance.
00:54
The malaria parasite has a remarkable ability to evolve and develop resistance to anti -malaria drugs and insecticides.
01:01
This means that new drugs and insecticides must be continually developed to stay ahead of the parasite's ability to adapt.
01:10
Then you have also asymptomatic carriers...
