In this paper, a SEIR (Susceptible, Exposed, Infectious and Recovered) mathematical model of transmission dynamics of malaria was proposed. In the model, mosquito population acts as the vector population and depends upon the human population for its growth and survival. It was shown that the environmental factors are conducive to the spread of malaria disease. It was also found that effective control programming against the spread of malaria is helpful in reducing the transmission dynamics of the disease. Sensitivity analysis was performed to show that spraying of pesticides and proper drainage system will effectively control the disease.
