Why is Malaria Prevalent in Sub-Saharan Africa?

Several factors contribute to the high prevalence of malaria in Sub-Saharan Africa:
Climate: The warm and humid climate of the region provides an ideal environment for Anopheles mosquitoes to thrive.
Socioeconomic Conditions: Poverty, limited access to healthcare, and inadequate housing increase the risk of malaria transmission.
Resistance: Both Plasmodium parasites and Anopheles mosquitoes have developed resistance to drugs and insecticides, respectively.
