(Text) "Over a billion people live in the shadow of this menace. About 300 million people are affected each year. It is
fatal to 3 million of them. No other disease plays such havoc with human lives.
Malaria is caused by tiny one cell animals, carried from one infected person to another by a mosquito called 'Anopheles'.
Without mosquitoes, the disease would vanish, so the battle of man versus mosquitoes, is now in progress. Over 80 countries
are joining forces to eradicate this disease."
