Abstract;Outlines of genome informations on both P.falciparum, a malaria parasite, and its anopheles vector, A.gambiae were publicized in October, 2002. As the result, genome informations on 3 big infectious diseases prevailing throughout the world, e.g., malaria, AIDS, and tuberculosis, have been reported. The newly reported outlines are expected to bring about boon in novel antimalarial and vaccine development, elucidation of potentials of resistance acquisition against existing drugs, resistance of the vectors against insecticides, development of specific insecticide, and elucidation of the biophylaxis functions owned by the mosquitos.This article discusses the clue how to overcome malaria from these genome informations.
