Malaria has not been conquered yet
The world recently marked “Malaria Day” in order to bring attention to the 250 million new cases of the disease that appear yearly. This number shows that there is much work to do in ridding the undeveloped world of this disease. Billions of dollars have been spent on trying to fight malaria, so one cannot say the fight against this disease has been neglected. Ninety percent of the cases of malaria occur in Africa.
The fight against malaria does not necessarily have to be high tech at all times. Things as simple as bed nets, especially for children, are a help against the mosquitoes that carry this disease. Unfortunately, these nets are going to those families with more income, as so much other aid is usually hijacked by the upper crust of society. Another concern is that like all diseases, after some time, drug-resistant strains develop making the eradication of the disease even more difficult.
About 3 billion people worldwide are at risk of contracting malaria. This is roughly half the population of the planet.
Sub-Saharan Africa is where the most risk is present in contracting malaria. Estimates state that every 30 seconds an African child dies of malaria. Asia, Latin America and the Middle East are also fertile areas for the spread of malaria. Even parts of Europe are sometimes touched by the disease.
Fever, headaches and vomiting are some of the symptoms of malaria. When malaria disrupts the supply of blood to the body’s organs, this is when it is most dangerous and life-threatening. 
I was resident in Nigeria from 1968-2003 .The problem there is excessive intake of Panadol by people on their own due to their thinking it will give them power.The people again consume Blood Tonics and Vitamins in excess they again eat to much meat and the way the meat is sold in the market and on the Road in traffic jams or go slow and can purchase all your daily needs in Go Slow including any drug schedule or non schedule No body knows whom to BLAME God De !!!!!My friend
If the environmentalists hadn’t been successful in banning DDT, malaria wouldn’t be an issue.
Also, malaria kills far more than AIDS, yet receives fractions of the money and attention. Simply buying nets to sleep under would help immensely. ]
The problem is the media and other social “do gooders” who have shifted priorities to the wrong places.
Sadly, malaria was conquered back in the 60′s until tree-huggers managed to ban DDT which was very effective combating the anopheles mosquito. I grew up in the Caribbean where cities were sprayed at least twice a year by these incredibly large spraying trucks.
In spite of my personal exposure to DDT I am today 83 years old and have never suffered from respiratory ailments.
After the banning of DDT in the early 70′s malaria returned to the island and now people are dying again.
