Africa, "accounting in large part for the extremely high mortality in this region" (World Health Organization, 2002). When a disease-carrying mosquito bites a person, the bacteria begin to metamorphose
and invade the hosts immune system to the point where both the liver and red blood cells are severely compromised. This perpetuation inside the initial host becomes strong enough
to infect another mosquito - which might bite the individual yet not yet carry the disease - ultimately infecting that second mosquito, thereby sustaining the spread. Further transformation occurs
when the disease is transferred back to the mosquito to the point where another person can become infected in a matter of days (World Health Organization, 2002). Symptoms mimic the
flu and include fever, headache and vomiting, all of which begin to occur approximately 1.5 to two weeks from the initial bite; left medically untreated as many, if not most,
infections in underdeveloped countries are, malaria spreads rapidly and becomes fatal. "Malaria, together with HIV/AIDS and TB, is one of the major public health challenges undermining development in the
poorest countries in the world" (World Health Organization, 2002). Even when drug intervention is available, it is often useless due to the fact that malaria parasites have built up
a tremendous tolerance to the standard drugs administered to fight the disease. The extent to which malaria is still completely out of control is clearly understood by a single
statistic: it kills an African child every 30 seconds (World Health Organization, 2002). Malaria, one of the worlds most communicable diseases, has its
origin back when man befriended - and thus domesticated - various species of animals. Prominent in locations where hygiene is poor, water supplies are contaminated and mosquitoes are plentiful,
