Description

Malaria is an ancient disease caused by a parasite passed through the bites of infected mosquitoes. It is only now—through extensive scientific research—that malaria can be prevented, treated, and cured. This fascinating book examines the difficulties malaria still presents and how science is working on a “zero malaria plan” that will one day eradicate the disease entirely.
