Essay / Research Paper Abstract
4 pages in length. Malaria is a severe problem in Eastern Africa that reflects "a major socio-economic challenge" (Anonymous, 2002, p. PG); however, the overwhelming impact of HIV/AIDS has been given most of the attention, leaving the issue of malaria treatment/prevention virtually neglected. If the problem received proper proactive attention, millions of lives could be saved and the situation could be easily ameliorated. Bibliography lists 4 sources.

situation could be easily ameliorated. "Mankinds waning ability to deal with malaria is so alarming that the global fund and other foundations should support all avenues of research opened
by the new discoveries, as well as traditional public-health measures like distributing insecticide-laced bed netting and spraying and draining in mosquito-breeding areas" (Anonymous #2, 2002, p. PG).
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 like Eastern Africa where hygiene is poor, water supplies are contaminated and mosquitoes are plentiful, malaria is both life threatening and extraordinarily prevalent - nearly forty percent
(World Health Organization, 2002) - in todays underdeveloped countries. The one-cell parasite responsible for this highly infectious disease is called plasmodium and is delivered from one person to another
by way of certain mosquito bites. Tropical climates are especially prone to these disease-carrying parasites - Africa ranks among the highest mortality rates with an Eastern African child dying
of malaria every thirty seconds (World Health Organization, 2002) - an infestation that has been all but eliminated in more temperate atmospheric conditions across the globe. "Today malaria is
found throughout the tropical and sub-tropical regions of the world and causes more than 300 million acute illnesses and at least one million deaths annually. Ninety per cent of
deaths due to malaria occur in Africa, south of the Sahara-mostly among young children...Pregnant women and their unborn children are also particularly vulnerable to malaria, which is a major cause
