Malaria is caused by the unicellular, parasitic eukaryotic organism Plasmodium sp. The disease is second most cosmopolitan disease (next to tuberculosis) and produce huge economic burden to a country in terms of mortality and morbidity. In this article the progress of the development of Malaria Vaccine has been discussed.
