The study was planned in 14 different union councils of district Karak from September Islamabad (IIUI), Department of 2015 to August 2016. The malarial blood parasites were traced in 3849 suspected patients. Total of 3849 Centre for Interdisciplinary Research suspected cases of malaria were gleaned-out of 3849 cases 1491 (38.7%) turned positive for malarial in Basic Sciences parasites-out of total +ve cases 1302 (87.3%) were traced for P-vivax and 189 (12.6%) were identified as Maira Riaz P. Falciparum. This month wise study shows the highest of malaria from July to October. The infection Department of Microbiology, Kohat remained higher in males (79.5%). The age based survey reflect the 168 (24%) in age group 1-10, 619 University of Science & Technology, (41.7%) in age group 11-20 and 704 (42.1%) in age group 21-above. There was no single case of P.

In 2002, the clinical cases of malaria Department of Microbiology, Kohat reported world-wide were 311 million which lead only about 12% over that by the global University of Science & Technology, [1] KUST, KP, Pakistan burden of disease GDB programmes which were estimated at 273 million . About 660,000 victims died out of 219 million cases of malarial infections recorded-globally in 2010 [2].

Malaria results from a histo-zooic parasite called plasmodium including four speciesP- Falciparum, P-vivax, P-ovale and P-malariae which are alienated by an infected mosquito bite Correspondence [15-17]. Malaria is caused when blood is socked from an infected person by a potent Muhammad Zeeshan Department of Zoology, GPGC, Karak, KP, Pakistan ~ 59 ~ International Journal of Mosquito Research anopheles mosquito. The parasite moves to the mosquito’s gut is hot in summer and very cold in winter, it is a semi-arid where it passes various stages of life cycle then it moves to region [22]. salivary glands and thus parasite is inoculated in another The recent survey was made by adopting two strategies i.e. person while biting [18]. The P-vivax has acquired the passive case detection (PCD) and Active case detection increased temperature tolerance range and P-malariae has (ACD). similar adaptation to temperature range but its developmental In PCD the thick and thin blood smears were prepared by period inside mosquito is prolonged.
