Reading one article on Malaria in WSJ. It is kind of surprising that even after knowing about this disease for 2000 years still one million people die every year. All the cures we have come up has only made parasite and Mosquitos more stronger. Worse, only one third people who gets malaria gets treatment. It is not that treatment is not available or accessible they simply don't fear this disease dispute world's biggest killer.
May be we should change name of this disease rather than current meaning of "bad air". Unless people gets serious about this disease no eradication program will succeed. Some how need to generate fear among the population who gets it rather then considering it as equivalent to common cold.
Though with all the research and efforts from different organizations I am hopeful that it will be eradicated soon.
