Excerpts

Throughout history, malaria has shaped the course of human events, affecting conquest, colonization, and even where people could live. Even today, while under control in most of the developed world, it still ravages parts of Africa and Asia, and it could potentially return to North America. Read about this ongoing pestilence and our efforts to control it.
