Question

Malaria, a disease spread by mosquitoes, infects about 300 million people a year and causes about 1 million deaths a

year. Children are most vulnerable to the disease, whereas most adults rebound fairly quickly.
Many NGOs work to disseminate mosquito nets in sub-Saharan Africa in an effort to reduce the incidence of malaria,
but results have been limited. Experts state that a different approach is needed to resolve this major health epidemic,
