Malaria: Africa\'s major parasitic disease
Malaria is by far the world's most important tropical parasitic disease and kills more people than any other communicable disease except tuberculosis. It exacts an enormous toll in lives, in medical costs, and in days of labor lost. It is a widespread and pernicious disease, cutting a swath stretching from Southwest Asia to Central America -- wherever there is warmth and water. Yet for decades malaria has remained on the back burner of international public health efforts.
