Abstract

Malaria is a non-contiguous disease caused by a protozoon which spreads through female anopheles‟ mosquito (Malaria mosquito) generally found in temporary rain pools. According to the study world‟s half populace is at danger of being infected by malaria. The main agent that has been involved for the spread of this infection is increasing in the number of drug resistant parasite. Therefore, to overcome from these problems bio-nanotechnology drug delivery systems have been developed to make easy at particular site or where we have to target our drug and hence reducing the development of resistance and toxicity issues related to drug dependency.
