Some facts about Malaira

-- Malaria costs Africa at least $12 billion in lost gross domestic product.

-- There are "three to five hundred million cases of malaria every year on a world-wide scale, 90 percent of which occur in sub-Saharan Africa." (UN entomologist)

--One African child dies of malaria every 20 seconds.

This article also mentions NUKING MOSQUITOES as a new possible way to figth Malaria: Scientists breed insects and expose the males to enough radiation to render them sterile. The males are then released into the environment to breed with the females, whose eggs are unfertilized and never hatch.
