Abstract:
Malaria is a parasitic disease that is spread by the Anopheles mosquitoes. There
are 2 million deaths from Malaria each year, making it one of the world's
deadliest diseases. Most of the fatal cases of Malaria are in African children
under the age 5. According to the media, natural resistance is being built in
mankind against Malaria. When scientists studied about this, they found that
these natural resistance was come since ancient times. This natural resistance is
built by changing genetics and it continues to the future generation. This is very
suitable example for Charles Davin's evolution theory. The recent investigations
on Immune Basis for Malaria Protection by the Sickle Cell Trait and Malaria,
Sickle Cell Anemia, and Natural Selection indicated that the patients who have
contracted Sickle cell anemia showed greater resistance to Malaria. The gene
which is responsible to Sickle cell anemia is G6 PD.
