ABSTRACT
Adaptations have been recognized as an essential facets of evolution. These broadly cover two types exemplified by change (adjustments) and that leads to creation of new species. The former is generally in response to environmental factors, while the others are genetic and heritable and enable the population to continue its existence. These are also accompanied by biological and behavioural changes. In the study of MAES, adaptations appear to be main mechanism which facilitate the dynamics of the malaria system in time and space. Schematically, three broad groups of resultant factors of adaptations within MAES. viz. genetical, biological and environmental have been identified and briefly discussed with regard to their diversity in all the three elements of MAES.
