In India, the most common type of malaria is caused by the parasite Plasmodium vivax. It accounts for a significant majority of malaria cases in the country. Plasmodium falciparum is also prevalent in some regions, especially in certain northeastern states and parts of Odisha, Chhattisgarh, and Jharkhand. Malaria remains a major public health concern in India, and efforts are continually made to control its transmission and reduce the burden of the disease.
