About This Book

"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"--
