Malaria is one of infectious diseases and has become the most public health issue especially in developing countries. Mathematically, the spread of malaria can be modeled to predict the dynamics of the outbreak of the disease. The present research studies the impact of migration of susceptible population on the dynamics of malaria transmission. In this paper an improved mathematical model is constructed based on a set of reasonable assumptions. Validity of the model is proved by verifying positivity of the solution. Mathematical analysis is carried out including equilibrium point analysis. Basic reproduction number of the model is determined so as to study the effect of migration parameter on the malaria outbreak. It has been observed that the migration parameter is directly proportional to the malaria outbreak. Hence, it is suggested that in order to keep the malaria outbreak under control, the migration parameter is required to be minimized. That is, migration of populations is recommended to reduce so as to reduce the impact of malaria outbreak.
