Despite efforts to combat it, malaria remains a significant burden worldwide and represents an ongoing medical and epidemiological challenge. Five species of Plasmodium can infect humans. Objective: To determine the importance of nursing interventions through bibliographic research. Methodology: A bibliographic review was carried out with a descriptive approach in which an exhaustive search of content was carried out in different databases such as Scopus, SciELO, Web of Science, and Redalyc. Results: According to the WHO, 96% of the 241 million confirmed malaria cases are in Africa. Risk factors, especially geographical location, were highlighted as critical determinants of contagion of this pathology. The complications of this condition highlight the importance of using prevention methods and effective treatment. Within the promotion, there are repellents, highlighting this intervention as a fundamental role carried out by nursing professionals. Conclusions: Malaria remains a significant global health challenge, especially in Africa and Southeast Asia, where prevalence is high. Therapeutic advances, such as the first RTS, S/AS01 vaccine, mark milestones in prevention. Nursing interventions are crucial in the fight against malaria, promoting prevention and education.
