Answers: how many people suffer with it in the world , is it a killer disease and is it increasing

About 40% of the world's population live in areas where they are at risk from malaria. Every year around 500 million people will become seriously ill from the disease and around 1 million will die. Most deaths are in children and pregnant women. Despite massive programmes to eradicate the mosquito that carries the malaria parasite, the numbers affected continue to rise. I hope that helps.

it is one of the worlds biggest killers and yes its increasing

If you stay out of countries where it is prevalent you most likely won't have a problem. It is transmitted to humans via mosquitos, so you can't catch it from your infected friends or neighbors.
