Where is malaria most prevalent?
Watching a news report on global health issues, and malaria was mentioned. I was curious to know more about its spread. Which parts of the world are currently experiencing the highest prevalence of malaria?

Bahut garmi aur barsaat wale ilakon mein zyada hota hai beta. Africa mein toh bahut hi hai, aur hamare Bharat mein bhi kuch jagahon mein. Machharo se bach ke rehna, yahi sabse accha upaay hai. Apne ghar ko saaf rakho.
I get so worried about these things! But from what I understand, it's primarily in tropical regions, especially sub-Saharan Africa. Does anyone else feel like there's always some new disease to worry about? It's just a lot to keep track of.
My son had a scare with malaria a few years back when we visited his grandparent's village in the east. It's most prevalent in tropical and subtropical areas, so places like Africa and parts of Asia are high risk. Always keep mosquito nets and good quality repellent handy, especially for kids.
Haan, malaria is most prevalent in poor countries where mosquitoes breed easily. Mostly in Africa, you see. In India also, some villages suffer. Always keep your surroundings clean, don't let water collect. And for prevention, we used to burn neem leaves in the evenings, it repels mosquitoes. But if fever comes, see doctor immediately, don't delay.
I was just looking this up actually! It seems to be most prevalent in sub-Saharan Africa, which accounts for the vast majority of cases globally. After that, it's Southeast Asia and parts of South America. It's all about those warm, humid conditions that favor the mosquito life cycle.
