The aim of this study was to determine the diversity of zooplankton in a local pond
ecosystem. Zooplankton plays a very important role in the food chain of pond ecosystem
and its diversity is one of the determinant of shaping the food chain. Its diversity will
ultimately decide the nature of the pond community. During our investigation in local
pond, we have gathered various types of zooplanktons like Cyclops, Daphnia, Cypris,
and Moina. Their number was influenced by the effect of pH (measured by digital pH
meter), temperature (measured by thermometer), free CO2 level (estimated by APHA
method), and dissolved O2 (estimated by Winkler’s method). The season wise variation
of zooplankton in pond indicate the different environmental condition in water bodies.

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.Keywords
